Secondary Mullerian System

Anatomical definition: The secondary mullerian system is the pelvic and lower abdominal mesothelium and the subjacent mesenchyma [1, 2]. The mullerian potential of this layer is consistent with its close embryonic relation to the mullerian ducts that arise by invagination of the coelomic epithelium Access this chapter Tax calculation will be finalised at checkout Purchases are for personal use only Similar content being viewed by others
