Female Uterus and Vagina (between week 9 and 20)

The animation shows the development of the uterus (red) from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts (red).

The initially paired ducts fuse in the midline forming the single body of the uterus.
The ducts remain separate laterally where they form the uterine tubes (Fallopian tubes, uterine horns).
The ducts peripheral attachment site to the urogenital sinus wall (yellow) is is described as the Müllerian tubercle.
The fused ducts also generate the vagina, under the influence of BMP4.
Estrogen will also later alter the vaginal epithelium.

--Mark Hill 16:42, 20 May 2011 (EST) Current research indicates the colour coding for vagina development is incorrectly shown here and it should also be identified (red) from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts (red).
