In the female the anterior portions of the ducts of Miillerform the upper part of the body of the womb and the Fallopiantubes. In the female the Wolffian ducts almost entirely disap-pear, but traces of them may be found as the canals of Gartner. 4^ PREGNANCY Pathological development and distention of these ducts some-times give rise to vaginal cysts, which may obstruct labor. Meanwhile most of the Wolffian body (mesonephros) disap-pears on each side, but remnants of it may be found in the female they constitute the parovarium (epoophoron, orbody of Rosenmuller).
