Obligatory sperm storage in the lizard Sceloporus grammicus
The oviduct anatomy of Sceloporus grammicus is similar to that described for other species of lizards, consisting of an anterior infundibulum with tube, a middie uterus and a posterior vagina. The oviductal wall consiste of an outer serosa, a middie layer of smooth muscle, and an inner mucosa lined...

| description | The oviduct anatomy of Sceloporus grammicus is similar to that described for other species of lizards, consisting of an anterior infundibulum with tube, a middie uterus and a posterior vagina. The oviductal wall consiste of an outer serosa, a middie layer of smooth muscle, and an inner mucosa lined wíth simple ciliated epithelium. The mucosa in the vagina is folded longitudinally, the folds projecting inward into the lumen. large masses of sperm were present during September and October at the base of the folds and ín small blind invaginations of the epíthelium. Sínce mating occurs during summer and females ovulate in the fall, delayed fertilizatíon is obligatory in S. grammicus. |

Cuellar, Orlando Sceloporus oviduct vagina sperm Sceloporus oviducto vagina esperma The oviduct anatomy of Sceloporus grammicus is similar to that described for other species of lizards, consisting of an anterior infundibulum with tube, a middie uterus and a posterior vagina. The oviductal wall consiste of an outer serosa, a middie layer of smooth muscle, and an inner mucosa lined wíth simple ciliated epithelium. The mucosa in the vagina is folded longitudinally, the folds projecting inward into the lumen. large masses of sperm were present during September and October at the base of the folds and ín small blind invaginations of the epíthelium. Sínce mating occurs during summer and females ovulate in the fall, delayed fertilizatíon is obligatory in S. grammicus. La anatomía del oviducto de Sceloporus grammicus es similar a la descrita para otras especies de lacertilios: consiste de un infundíbulo anterior con la región del tubo, un útero medio y una vagina posterior. la pared del oviducto consiste de una serosa externa, una capa media de músculo liso y una mucosa interna con un epitelio ciliado simple. la mucosa de la vagina presenta pliegues longitudinales, los cuales se proyectan hacia el lúmen. Se observan grandes masas de espermatozoides durante los meses de septiembre y octubre en pequeñas invaginaciones del epitelio. El apareamiento ocurre en los meses de verano y las hembras ovulan hasta el otoño, por lo que el retraso en la fertilización es un fenómeno obligado en S. grammicus.
