Development of Male and female external genitalia: Embryology
- Embryological foundations – development from the cloaca, urogenital sinus, urethral groove, genital tubercle, folds, and swellings.
- Male development – elongation of the tubercle to form the phallus, penile urethra formation, fusion of folds into the penis, and scrotal development.
- Female development – non-fusion of folds and swellings, with the tubercle forming the clitoris.
