This coalescence commences in the middle, corresponding to ^S- LXXXVI.—Female genital organs of the embryo, with the remains of the Wolffianhodies (after J. Miiller).

the body of the uterus. The upper parts oS the MiiUerian ducts in thegenital cord constitute the cornua of the uterus, little dcYeloped in thehuman species. The only remains of the Wolffian body consist in theorgan of Eosenmliller. About the fifth month an annular constriction marks the position ofthe neck of the uterus, and after the sixth month the walls of the uterusbegin to thicken. The round ligament is derived from the lumbar ligament of the WoliBanbody, the peritoneum constitutes the broad ligaments, the superior liga-ment of the Wolffian body disappears with tliat stiucture. Male organs.—The testicles are developed from the intermediate cell-mass (genital gland of the older embryologists) behind and to the insideof the Wolffian bodies, from which the essential parts of the gland, thetubuli seminiferi, and their contents take oi-igin. The tubuli seminiferi are early visible, being at first short and straight,and then gradually assume a coiled arrangement. The tunica albuginea
