Abstract
The urogenital organs develop from intermediate mesenchyme situated longitudinally in the trunk of an embryo between the splanchnopleuric and somatopleuric mesenchyme.1 2 It bulges into the coelomic cavity forming the medially located genital (or gonadal) ridge and the laterally located nephrogenic ridge on both sides of the gut. The mesenchymal tissues from the two ridges are interrelated to each other during the development.
