1. Some of the tubules of the mesonephros form part of the permanent kidney. 2. The mesonephros go on to form nephrons and other associated structures of the kidneys. 3. Thus, the term mesonephros is usually reserved for the embryonic kidney of amniotes. 4. The duct of the mesonephros forms the Wolffian duct and ureter of the adult kidney. 5. The mesonephros and metanephros of amniotes are derived from different parts of the anamniote opisthonephros. 6. The tubules collectively constitute the mesonephros . 7. The most significant function of the aorta gonad mesonephros region is its role in definitive haematopoiesis. 8. It is retinoic acid, derived from the primitive kidney ( mesonephros ) that stimulates meiosis in ovarian oogonia. 9. In humans, the mesonephros consists of units which are similar in structure and function to nephrons of the adult kidney. 10. The aorta gonad mesonephros region has been shown to harbour multipotent hematopoietic colony-forming unit-spleen ( HSCs ).
