Scope note: Estructura embrionaria que contribuye a guiar el descenso correcto de las gónadas hasta su posición final. Este elemento fija el extremo caudal de las GÓNADAS fetales al ESCROTO en desarrollo, en los varones, y al labio mayor en las mujeres. Da lugar a los ligamentos caudales de las gónadas: el ligamento escrotal en los varones y el ligamento redondo uterino y los ligamentos propios del ovario en las mujeres. Incluye estructuras equivalentes morfofuncionales en los no mamíferos.

Scope note: An embryonic structure that helps guide proper descent of gonads into their final positions. It attaches the caudal end of the fetal GONADS to the developing SCROTUM in male and the labium majorum in female. It gives rise to the caudal ligaments of the gonad: the scrotal ligament in male and the uterine round and proper ovarian ligaments in female. It includes morphofunctional equivalent structures in non-mammals.
