mullerian duct การใช้
- But researchers have long suspected that to make a male, a second hormone must actively suppress the development of the female reproductive ducts, known as mullerian ducts.
- Lim-1 is also essential for the development of the female reproductive tract as it causes the persistence of the mullerian ducts that will eventually develop into the oviducts, uterus, cervix, and vagina.
- If a functional Y chromosome is present, the SRY gene will kick off a cascade that leads to the formation of testes, production of antimullerian hormone, and regression of the female internal organs ( Mullerian ducts ).
- If these cells can recognize testosterone, male development proceeds by prompting the female-forming structures, known as mullerian ducts, to degenerate and the male-forming structures, called wolffian ducts, to differentiate into the organs and ducts needed for male development.
