The Müllerian duct is an embryological structure that develops into the female internal reproductive organs
 
               Development Of Female Reproductive Organism From Mullerian Duct
 

In early embryonic life (about 6 weeks of gestation), both sexes have two duct systems:

  1. Müllerian ducts (paramesonephric ducts)

  2. Wolffian ducts (mesonephric ducts)

In females

Since there is no Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), the Müllerian ducts persist and differentiate.

They form:

  • Fallopian tubes

  • Uterus

  • Cervix

  • Upper two-thirds of the vagina
