Summary
The gubernaculum is a
Fibrous cord
that plays a crucial role in the
Descent of the testes
during
Male fetal development
, guiding them from the abdomen into the scrotum. In females, it is involved in the
Development of the ovarian ligament
and the
Round Ligament Of The Uterus
, although the gubernaculum does not facilitate the
Descent of the ovaries
in the same way as it does for the testes.
