14-1 RECOMMENDED READING: Larsen, Human Embryology, 3rd Edition, pp : The male and female reproductive tracts are derived from the same embryonic/fetal tissue. The gonads and internal and external genetalia begin as bipotential tissues. Thedifferentiation of male gonad is dependent on the expression of SRY (sex reversal Y) = TDF (testesdetermining factor). This gene is expressed in the Sertoli cells of the male in a cell autonomousfashion. Its expression results in a cascade of events leading to the DEVELOPMENT of seminiferoustubules.
