List of homologues of the human reproductive system
The List of homologues of the human reproductive system shows how indifferent embryonic organs differentiate into the respective sex organs in males and females. Mullerian ducts are also referred to as paramesonephric ducts, and Wolffian ducts as mesonephric ducts.

| Wolffian duct | Rete testis | Rete ovarii |
| Wolffian duct | Efferent ducts | Epoophoron |
| Wolffian duct | Epididymis | Gartner's duct |
| Wolffian duct | Vas deferens | |
| Wolffian duct | Seminal vesicle | |
| Wolffian duct | Prostate | Skene's glands |
| Urogenital sinus | Bladder, urethra | Bladder, urethra, vagina |
| Urogenital sinus | Cowper's glands | Bartholin's glands |
