Transverse section of Human Embryo 8.5 to 9 Weeks Old
(From model by Keibel.)
- first appearance of the genital gland is essentially the same in the two sexes
- a thickening of the epithelial layer which lines the peritoneal cavity on the medial side of the urogenital fold
- thick plate of epithelium extends deeply, pushing before it the mesoderm and forming a distinct projection
- termed the genital ridge
- from it the testis in the male and the ovary in the female are developed
- mesonephros and genital ridge are suspended by a common mesentery
- as the embryo grows the genital ridge gradually becomes pinched off from the mesonephros
- remains connected to the remnant of this body by a fold of peritoneum, the mesorchium or mesovarium
- about the seventh week the distinction of sex in the genital ridge begins to be perceptible
