Oviduct is also another name for Fallopian tube

In oviparous animals (those that lay eggs), the passage from the ovaries to the outside of the body is known as the oviduct. The Fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, and salpinges ( singular salpinx) are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated Oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs, with little or no other Embryonic development within the mother In most Birds and Reptiles an egg ( Latin ovum) is the Zygote, resulting from Fertilization of the Ovum. "Ovaria" redirects here This is also a proposed section and a Synonym of Solanum. The eggs travel along the oviduct. These eggs will either be fertilized by sperm to become a zygote, or will degenerate in the body.

• Shell Gland (formation of egg shell)
• Vagina (formation of cuticula)
