== Internal Genetalia ==
* Male: '''Wolffian Duct''' developes from the '''Mesonephric Duct'''
* Female: '''Mullarian Ducts''' develop from the '''Paramesonephric Duct'''
* This is dependent on appropriate hormonal influence.
'''MALE'''
* '''MIH''' from '''Sertoli cells''' and '''Androgens''' from '''Leydig cells''' prevent spontaneous development of female internal genetalia.
* '''Androgens''' actively maintain '''Wolffian ducts''', which give rise to male internal genetalia:
** Epididymis
** Vas Deferens
** Vesicular Glands/ Seminal Vesicles
* '''MIH''' causes Mullarian ducts to regress
