1. Wolffian and Mul- The two ducts both present in the embryo in the undifferentiated stage, related to
lerian Ducts genitalia
2. Wolffian Embryonic duct related to male genitalia development?
3. Y chromosome Chromosome related to development of the testes
4. Anti-Müllerian Protein which inhibits the development of the Müllerian ducts in the male embryo.
Hormone It is first made in primary follicles that advance from the primordial follicle stage.
5. Testosterone The hormone that stimulates the development of Wolffian ducts into male geni-
talia. In advanced vertebrates the Wolffian duct develops in conjunction with the
embryonic kidneys.
6. Abdomen, scro- Testes develop in the ________ and descend into the ______ through the inguinal
tum cavity
7. 7th-9th Testes descend by the ___ to ____ month of gestation
8. Perineum skin The scrotum is continuous with this tissue
9. Dartos muscle This separates the two testes and responds to temperature change

10. Tunica Albungea Fibrous capsule that gives shape to the testes and creates septum leading to
hundreds of lobules
11. Rete Testes Located within the mediastinum testis, this structure gives rise to several ducts
(seminiferous tubules) that give rise to the ductus deferens
12. Ampulla Termination point of the vas deferens. Each ductus deferens ends in this enlarged
portion at the fundus of the bladder which acts as a reservoir for sperm
13. Spermatic Cord The cremaster muscle is located in which structure?
