Pulmonate land gastropods are simultaneous hermaphrodites and their reproductive system is complex. It is all completely internal, except for genital protrusion (eversion) during mating. The outer opening of the reproductive system is called the "genital pore"; it is positioned on the right-hand side, very close to the head of the animal.
Land slugs are a highly polyphyletic group, which means that many land slug families are not at all closely related to one another. The majority of land slugs are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs that are functional at the same time. Some species regularly self-fertilise.
Limax is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk family Limacidae. Limax cinereoniger. The generic name Limax literally means "slug". Limax dacampi. Some species, such as the leopard slug (L. maximus) and the tawny garden slug (Limacus flavus), are beneficial for the garden. [2]

In plants, male reproductive structures include stamens in flowering plants, which produce pollen. [3] Female reproductive structures, such as pistils in flowering plants, produce ovules and receive pollen for fertilization. [4] Mosses, ferns, and some similar plants have gametangia for reproductive organs, which are part of the gametophyte. [5]
A sexual system is a distribution of male and female functions across organisms in a species. [1] [2] The terms reproductive system and mating system have also been used as synonyms. [3] Sexual systems play a key role in genetic variation and reproductive success, and may also have led to the origin or extinction of certain species. [4]
