Q

An embryo is bipotent and can develop to male or female. Mesonephros gives rise to 3 things- what are they?

A
  • Mesonephic duct: gives rise to male genital ducts, requires androgens to develop, degenerates in females in response to low androgen levels
  • Genital ridge: gives rise to the testes or ovaries (source of androgens and estrogens)
  • Paramesonephric (Mullerian) duct: gives rise to female genital ducts, does not require hormones to develop, degenerates in males in response to Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS)
