seminal receptacle [FBbt_00004922]

A compactly coiled tube epithelial tube connected to the anterior end of the uterus. The tube is long (1.7-2.7 mm) and slender, consisting of a proximal duct around 22 micrometres wide with a narrow lumen (2.5 - 4.5 micrometres) and a wider distal half (around 28 micrometres) with a much larger lumen (12-19 micrometres). It is lined with a thin chitinous intima and surrounded by a nucleated sheath. The coil as a whole is surrounded by a sparsely nucleated peritoneal envelope. After copulation, the lumen of this tube is filled with spermatozoa, arranged longitudinally with their heads towards the closed tip of the tube.
