Male reproductive system in nematode.
-Most male nematodes have only a single testis attached to the Vas deferens which expands into a
seminal vesicle which connects to the cloaca.Each of them explained below:
a)Vas deferens – aka sperm duct, releases sperm.
b)Seminal vesicle – stores sperm cells.
c)Cloaca – hole that sperm is ejected from.
-They also have a flap of tissue called the bursa that aids in the transfer of sperm to the female genital pore.

Female reproductive system in Nematodes.
-Consists of a pair of ovaries attached to an oviduct that has a swollen proximal end that forms a seminal receptacle.
-Each oviduct becomes a tubular uterus, and the two uteri come together to form a vagina that opens to the outside through a genital pore.
