The paramesonephric ducts play a critical role in the female reproductive tract and differentiate to form the uterine tubes, uterus, superior vagina as well as the uterine cervix. Many types of disorders can occur when this system is disrupted ranging from uterine and vaginal agenesis to the duplication of unwanted cells of the uterus and vagina.
Female Male Gonad: Ovary: Testicle: Rete ovarii: Rete testis: Paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts) Fallopian tube: Appendix testis: Uterus, cervix, vagina [1] Prostatic utricle: Mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) Epoophoron: Epididymis: Gartner's duct: Vas deferens: Seminal vesicle: Mesonephric tubules: Paroophoron: Paradidymis: Urogenital ...
In the female, the paramesonephric ducts persist and undergo further development. The portions which lie in the genital cord [citation needed] fuse to form the uterus and vagina. This fusion of the paramesonephric ducts begins in the third month, and the septum formed by their fused medial walls disappears from below upward.
The internal genitalia consist of two accessory ducts: mesonephric ducts (male) and paramesonephric ducts (female). The mesonephric system is the precursor to the male genitalia and the paramesonephric to the female reproductive system. [8] As development proceeds, one of the pairs of ducts develops while the other regresses.
The mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, archinephric duct, Leydig's duct or nephric duct, is a paired organ that develops in the early stages of embryonic development in humans and other mammals. It is an important structure that plays a critical role in the formation of male reproductive organs.

The sperm differentiate inside the seminiferous tubules, then swim down these tubes, then through these special mesonephric tubules, and go down inside Wolffian duct, to the coelom and finally to the organ the animal uses to transport sperm into females. In females, the structure gives rise to the paroöphoron. [1]: 177
The uterovaginal primoridium, which is a fusion of the caudal ends of paramesonephric ducts, contacts the dorsal wall of the urogenital sinus and, induces the formation of the sinus tubercle. This occurs in both sexes: In the female, the mesonephric duct loses all association with the gonad and
