Ovipositor
Definition:
(n.) The organ with which many insects and some other animals deposit their eggs. Some ichneumon files have a long ovipositor fitted to pierce the eggs or larvae of other insects, in order to lay their own eggs within the same.
Example Sentences:
(1) Unfertilized eggs of the rose bitterling (Rhodeus ocellatus ocellatus) were squeezed out of females that had an elongated ovipositor and were dechorionated mechanically with fine forceps in physiological saline.
(2) He stared not at the twitching Petrobras P36 with its concrete in the mere, not at its drill ovipositor injecting slippy black rig eggs into England, but at the sea.
(3) To continuously monitor ovipositor movements a new actograph was devised; it was composed of a radioelement glued at the ventral tip of the ovipositor, a scintillation probe to detect ovipositor movements and a microcomputer to store and process data.
(4) Sensilla on legs and ovipositor of the moth Ostrinia nubilalis were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy.

(7) In females, the overall structure of the ovipositor appeared flaccid, less sclerotized, and misshapen.
(8) Two model proctolinergic systems are highlighted: motor control of the visceral muscles of the locust oviduct and of the skeletal muscles of the locust ovipositor.
(9) Rhythmical ovipositor movements are produced by the severed abdomen of sexually mature female grasshoppers.
(10) On the basis of a comparative morphological and embryological analysis the author concludes that lower mammals (ovipositors and marsupials) and higher mammals should not be united into a single class.
