Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the question: The gubernaculum is found in both the male and female embryo. What does it form in the baby and adult females, would be: It forms the 2 rounds ligaments of the uterus, one to anchor each side of this pear-shaped reproductive organ and its companions in the reproductive system.

Explanation:

During embryologic differentiation, both the male and female embryos have in their bodies the gubernaculum. The gubernaculum is a mesenchyal tissue of undifferentiated cells that can be found attached to both the ovarian tissues in female fetuses, and the testicular tissue of male ones. In the female fetus, this gubernaculum starts its differentiation during the urogenital formation stages, and it forms a sort of band of connective tissue that initiates from the ovaries and then starts extending during developing towards the cornu of the uterus, where it attaches and then continue extending towards the labia majora. These two ligaments, one from each ovary, will attach either side of the uterus and will become its binding and attachment to the pelvic area, and also for all other reproductive organs.
