Most of the inner organs of acanthocephalans are located within the trunk. Acanthocephalans are dioecious. The ovaries (ovarian balls) of female worms float in the body cavity. Following fertilisation of mature eggs the ovary degenerates and the body cavity is filled with developing eggs. As soon as eggs contain fully developed first stage larvae (acanthors) they are released by the female through an apparatus called the uterine bell.
