title: A Study On The Structure Of Clonorchis Sinensis, A Liver Fluke: IV. Probable Functions Of The Laurer's Canal.
abstract: A study on the function of the Laurer's canal of Clonorchis sinensis was conducted with help of the light microscope, the transmission electron microscope, and the scanning electron microscope. Some selected sexual organs concerning with the passages of the spermatozoa and the eggs were obseved in detail.
