Answer 17

Comes from yolk sac, migrate along dorsal mesentery into retroperitoneum

Question 18

Describe how a M or F is formed

Answer 18

M has SRY region on Y chromsome, that means androgens made. Mullerian inhibiting hormone made so no Mullerian duct, androgens made so that supports Wolffian duct

Question 19

What do the Mullerian and Wolffian ducts become in Fs

Answer 19

Mullerian becomes vagina, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes

Wolffian used to be the embryonic kidney but will now regress

Question 20

What do Mullerian and Wolffian ducts become in Ms

Mullerian regresses

Wolffian becomes vas deferens (used to be the embryonic kidney)

Question 21

Mullerian duct

What does the mesonephric duct become

Answer 22

Wolffian duct

Question 23

How can you develop no ducts

Answer 23

If M with no response to testosterone (produce MIH but no response to testosterone)

!!! I know right. Again by gubernaculum, becomes round ligament and ligament of ovary once done. Prevented further descent by development of uterus
