The Müllerian ducts (or '''paramesonephric ducts''') are paired ducts of the Embryo which empty into the Cloaca .


REGULATION OF DEVELOPMENT


The development of the Müllerian ducts is controlled by the presence or absence of "AMH", or Anti-Müllerian Hormone (also known as "MIF" for "Müllerian inhibiting factor", or "MIH" for "Müllerian inhibiting hormone").


EPONYM

They are named after Johannes Peter Müller , a Physiologist who described these ducts in his text "Bildungsgeschichte der Genitalien" in 1830 .
