Figure 5.

The development of male internal genitalia in the human embryo. The stabilization and differentiation of the Wolffian ducts are mediated by testosterone synthesized by the fetal Leydig cells. The enzyme 5α-reductase 2 converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The Wolffian ducts differentiate into epididymis, vas deferens and seminal vesicles. DHT contributes to prostate differentiation.

FIGURE 2.

Determining role of the testes in fetal sex differentiation. In normal females, Müllerian ducts are maintained, Wolffian ducts regress. In males, the opposite occurs. In castrated fetuses, irrespective of genetic or gonadal sex, the reproductive tract differentiates according to the female pattern.

Figure 2The uterus differentiates from the fetal Müllerian ducts.

A. Before the embryonic to fetal transition, the gonads and reproductive ducts (Wolffian; blue and Müllerian; red) of the urogenital ridge are bipotential. B. In the presence of the Y chromosome, the gonads of the bipotential urogenital ridge differentiate into testes, which produce both MIS to eliminate the Müllerian ducts and testosterone to stimulate differentiation of the Wolffian ducts into the male internal reproductive tract structures. C. In the absence of SRY, ovaries differentiate, Wolffian ducts degenerate, and Müllerian ducts develop into a simple columnar epithelial tube that will differentiate into the oviducts, uterus, cervix, and upper portion of the vagina.
