Oviduct

In females passageway from ovary to uterus and leading to genital aperture. [Moore and McCormick, 1969]
Passageway from ovary to genital aperture. [McLaughlin, 1980]
The duct connecting the posterior lobe of the ovary to the spermatheca. [Ingle, 1983]
Tube carrying ova from ovary to the exterior. [Holdich and Jones, 1983]
(Taxon-specific: ) Short and narrow section of female reproductive system between posterior part of each ovary and dorsal brood pouch. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Gonad. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Gonad. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Family Pycnogonidae) Section of female reproductive system between eeach ovary and single ovisac. Originates from ovary near first or second abdominal somite (= genital somite). Distal portion of oviduct (extending into ovisac) occasionally referred to as uterus, terminal end as vagina. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopore. Highly elongated, extending posteriorly to 18th postcephalic segment and soubling back to 6th thoracomere. Eggs accumulate at point of flexure. Terminal section merges with vas deferens to form common duct (gonoduct). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on first segments (coxae) of third pereopods. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracic segment (= fifth pereonite). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Narrow section of female reproductive system extending from each dorsal ovary to gonopore on basal segment (coxa) of sixth thoracopod(= third pereopod). May be modified terminally to form seminal receptacle and vagina. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on ventral surface of fifth pereon segment (pereonite). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on ventral surface (sternite) of fifth pereon segment (pereonite). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on bases (coxae) of sixth thoracopods. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and unpaired seminal receptacle. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Class Secernentea) Relatively short, slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopore. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Order Monhysterida) One of two short ducts leading from ovary to gonopore (vagina) on last thoracic somite (fourth thoracomere). Considered to function alternately. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
(Taxon-specific: Order Rhabditida) Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores at bases of first pair of cirri. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system leading from ovary to gonopore/atrium on first abdominal segment (genital somite). Paired, originating at anterior end of ovary and giving rise to oviducal diverticula. Secretes material forming ovisacs. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system leading from ovary to gonopore; may be developed distally into uterus. Seminal receptacle frequently opens into oviduct via canal (spiral canal). (paired, unpaired). [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Paired section of female reproductive system between ovary and female gonopore; extends dorsally above gut from head or trunk border to seventh trunk segment. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracopods. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Relatively short, slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracic segment. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
Slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and corresponding female gonopore on coxae of sixth thoracopods. [Stachowitsch, 1992]
