MeSH Heading: Mullerian Ducts
Tree Number(s): A16.623
Unique ID: D009095
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009095
Scope Note: A pair of ducts near the WOLFFIAN DUCTS in a developing embryo. In the male embryo, they degenerate with the appearance of testicular ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE. In the absence of anti-mullerian hormone, mullerian ducts give rise to the female reproductive tract, including the OVIDUCTS; UTERUS; CERVIX; and VAGINA.
Entry Term(s): Muellerian Duct; Muellerian Ducts; Mullerian Duct
