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].

(Order Cladocera):

Short and narrow section of female reproductive system between posterior part of each ovary and dorsal brood pouch [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Notostraca):

Gonad [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Diplostraca):

Gonad [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Anostraca):

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].

(Class Cephalocarida):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopore. Highly elongated, extending posteriorly to 18^th postcephalic segment and soubling back to 6^th thoracomere. Eggs accumulate at point of flexure. Terminal section merges with vas deferens to form common duct (gonoduct) [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Cumacea):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on first segments (coxae) of third pereopods [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Tanaidacea):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracic segment (= fifth pereonite) [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Decapoda):

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].

(Order Amphipoda):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on ventral surface of fifth pereon segment (pereonite) [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Isopoda):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on ventral surface (sternite) of fifth pereon segment (pereonite) [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Mysida):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on bases (coxae) of sixth thoracopods [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Stomatopoda):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and unpaired seminal receptacle [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Leptostraca):

Relatively short, slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopore [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Subclass Branchiura):

One of two short ducts leading from ovary to gonopore (vagina) on last thoracic somite (fourth thoracomere). Considered to function alternately [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Subclass Cirripedia):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores at bases of first pair of cirri [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Class Ostracoda):

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].

(Class Ostracoda):

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].

(Class Remipedia):

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].

(Superorder Syncarida):

Section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracopods [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Thermosbaenacea):

Relatively short, slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and gonopores on sixth thoracic segment [Stachowitsch, 1992].

(Order Euphausiacea):

Slender section of female reproductive system between each ovary and corresponding female gonopore on coxae of sixth thoracopods [Stachowitsch, 1992].
