Development of the reproductive system
The development of the reproductive system is the prenatal development and sexual differentiation of the male and female sex organs. Due to the large overlap with the urinary system, the reproductive and urinary systems are typically described together as the genitourinary system. The reproductive organs develop from the intermediate mesoderm and are preceded by more primitive structures that are superseded before birth. These embryonic structures are the mesonephric ducts (also known as Wolffian ducts) and the paramesonephric ducts, (also known as Müllerian ducts). The mesonephric duct gives rise to the male seminal vesicles, epididymides and vasa deferentia. The paramesonephric duct gives rise to the female fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina.
