PY - 2020 T2 - DeGowin’s Diagnostic Examination, 11e AB - Male and female external genitalia arise from identical embryologic anlage. Phenotype development depends on the presence or absence of testosterone. Lack of the SRY gene (typically found on the Y chromosome) leads to development of ovaries and female sex organs. The female reproductive organs include the ovaries, ovarian ligaments, Fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, vaginal and introital glands of Bartholin, labia minora and majora, and the clitoris with its covering prepuce. The labia majora and clitoris are cognates of the scrotum and penis respectively. Ambiguous genitalia reflect development and maturation from a mixed genetic substrate or hormone environment.
