• The posterior two-thirds of the body contain the vittelogenic glands and their winding canal, which unites with the oviduct a little before it reaches the ootype.
• In this tube it is possible to find 1 to 2 eggs ( rarely 3 to 4 ) but only 1 egg is observed in the ootype at any one time.
• After the egg is surrounded by yolk cells, its shell is formed from the secretion of another gland called Mehlis'gland or shell gland, the duct of which also opens in the ootype.
