Abstract
The external genitalia in bovine fetuses were studied macroscopically, with special reference to the formation of the labia and the sexual differentiation. The age of fetuses was expressed in crown-rump length (CRL). The female urogenital fold budding on either side of the genital tubercle gradually approached the tip of the genital tubercle by the 33-cm stage and then began to enclose it with the companion fold on the other side, thus forming the labium pudendi which is equivalent to the labium minus pudendi of the human. The genital swellings, which are known to become the labia majora in the human, did not take part in the formation of the labia. They completely disappeared at the sites cranial to the genital tubercle by the l0-cm stage. The sex difference in differentiation of the external genitalia was first observed at the 2.7-cm stage, at which time in the male, the urogenital orifice and the anogenital raphe appeared at the sites caudal to the genital tubercle; in the female at the 2.9-cm stage, both structures were still not observable. The anogenital distance became clearly longer in male than in female, after 3.6-3.9-cm stages.
