 sexes and forms a greater part of the urethra (Fig. 219); its fate is described 

 on p. 226 in connection with the external genitalia.

The vesico-urethral anlage enlarges and forms the bladder and a por- 

 tion of the urethra. In 7 mm. embryos the proximal ends of the meso- 

 nephric ducts are funnel shaped, and, at 10 mm., with the enlargement of 

 the bladder, these ends are taken up into its wall until the ureters and meso-
