A genital cord is a structure appearing in the development of the urinary and reproductive organs.
However, there still are two kinds of genital cords:
- The common genital cord is the most caudal portions of the Müllerian duct and Wolffian duct, where they go side by side.
- The genital cords of the germinal epithelium are ingrows from the germinal epithelium
Famous quotes containing the word cord:
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
