The female reproductive system of Fasciola hepatica consists of an ovary, oviduct, uterus, vitelline glands, Mehlis' glands, and Laurer's canal. The ovary is single and highly branched, opening into the oviduct. The oviduct connects to the median vitelline duct, which joins the uterus containing fertilized eggs. Numerous vitelline glands produce yolk and shell material for the eggs, emptying into longitudinal and transverse vitelline ducts. Mehlis' glands secrete fluids to lubricate the eggs' passage and activate sperm. Laurer's canal temporarily opens dorsally during breeding to serve as a cop
