In both sexes a pair of '''Mullerian ducts''' are formed which are epithelialised ducts which extend from the lumbar region to the urogenital cleft. In females, the fallopian tubes or [[Oviduct_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|oviducts]], [[Uterus_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|uterus]] and internal elements of the vagina all develop from these ducts. Although the Mullerian ducts are formed in males, they eventually regress.

In the fetal ovary, active development occurs much later than in the testes and there is little hormone production in the first two trimesters. Follicle maturation occurs as gestation progresses.
