| mesonephros |
The second kidney that forms next to the pronephros posteriorly during embryogenesis. In mammals, this is a transient embryonic organ that subsequently degenerates but is thought to be functional. The urinary function is postnatally taken over by the metanephros.

| mesonephros |
the second temporary stage of kidney development (pro-, meso-, meta-). The intermediate mesonephros develops and disappears with the exception of its duct, the mesonephric duct, which will form the male reproductive duct system. In males, the mesonephric tubules go on to form the ducts of the testis. In females, these degenerate. A few mesonephric tubules remain as efferent ductules in the male and vestigial remnants in the female.(More? Urogenital Notes)
