In addition to the ducts just mentioned there isanother pair, known as Miillers ducts, which are peculiarinasmuch as they open into the ccelom (pleuro-peritonealcavity); they run parallel with the mesonephric ducts andopen into the uro-genital sinus. The external opening ofthis sinus is surmounted anteriorly by a vascular bodyand laterally is limited by two parallel folds of skin.
