Transformation of the rete ovarii into a rete testis and of the epoophoron into an epididymis after experimental sex reversal in Gallus domesticus is described. After castration of female chicks, the medulla of the left ovary and/or the right gonadal rudiment develop into a testoid or an ovotestis. From general view, this is observed as sex reversal. In case of formation of a testoid, the epoophoron develops into an epididymis and the rete ovarii develops into a rete testis which consists of intra- and extratesticular and intracapsular parts. Thus, a luminated duct system is developed which allows the transport of semen. In case of formation of an ovotestis, the discontinuously side-by-side located parts of the rete ovarii and of the epoophoron are maintained.
描述了在原鸡实验性性别反转后，卵巢网转变为睾丸网以及卵巢冠转变为附睾的情况。雌性雏鸡阉割后，左卵巢髓质和/或右性腺原基发育为睾丸样组织或卵睾。从总体上看，这被视为性别反转。在形成睾丸样组织的情况下，卵巢冠发育为附睾，卵巢网发育为睾丸网，睾丸网由睾丸内、睾丸外和被膜内部分组成。因此，形成了一个有腔的管道系统，可用于输送精液。在形成卵睾的情况下，卵巢网和卵巢冠不连续并排的部分得以保留。
