Female Uterus and Vagina (between week 9 and 20)

The entire vagina is formed from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) duct (red) and does not have a contribution from the urogenital endoderm (yellow).

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.

-The entire vagina is formed from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) duct (red) and does not have a contribution from the urogenital endoderm (yellow) as shown in the movie. It should therefore be colour-coded the same as the uterus in this animation.
