Ovarioles

Ovarioles

An ovariole is one of the tubes of which the ovaries of most insects are composed.

Typically an insect will have two ovaries. The constitutent ovarioles lead to two oviducts, which converge into a single oviduct. The ovarioles are composed of a germarium and a set of ovarial follicles.
