mesonephric
The term "mesonephric" refers to structures or functions related to the mesonephros, which is an intermediate kidney stage in vertebrate development. In humans, the mesonephros is present during early embryonic stages and plays a role in the formation of the urinary system. It is responsible for filtering waste and producing urine before being replaced by the more advanced metanephros.
In addition to its role in kidney development, the mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, is crucial for the development of male reproductive structures. This duct contributes to the formation of the epididymis, vas deferens, and other components of the male reproductive system.
