Mesonephric duct
Paired organ of the urogenital system in mammals
Mesonephric duct
The mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, archinephric duct, Leydig's duct or nephric duct, is a paired organ that develops in the early stages of embryonic development in humans and other mammals. It is an important structure that plays a critical role in the formation of male reproductive organs. The term Wolffian duct is named after Caspar Friedrich Wolff, a German physiologist and embryologist who first described it in his dissertation in 1759. During embryonic development, the mesonephric ducts form as a part of the urogenital system.
