Archive image from page 67 of The cyclopædia of anatomy and. The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology cyclopdiaofana05todd Year: 1859 Ovary and oviduct of a laying Fowl, killed twelve hours after laying the last egg. a. Left ovary; b, opening of the infundibiilum of the oviduct; c, d, glandular portion of the oviduct; at d, the isthmus; e, an egg in the uterine portion of the oviduct, in which the shell is begun to be deposited ; /, the rectum, ending in the cloaca; g, the undeveloped right oviduct occasionally met with. a. Relations of the form of the ovaries to the discharge of ova.—In the majority of verte- brated animals the ovary or ovaries are quite detached from the conducting tube or ovi- duct ; the ovules are formed in close capsules of the ovary, by the bursting or fissure of the wall of which they escape ; the oviduct opens at its upper end into the abdominal cavity, and there receives the ovum which has been discharged from the ovary. This is the general arrangement in mammalia, birds, reptiles, am- phibia, and cartilaginous fishes. There is some difference in the form of the ovary in the higher and lower of these animals. In mam- malia and birds, in chelonia and the crocodiles among the reptiles, and in cartilaginous fishes the ovary is more or less solid, and the ovules are developed in capsules which project towards the external surface; but in the lizards Fig 37.
