| mullerian duct | <radiology> FEMALE, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina Male, appendix testis, prostatic utricle anomalies: mullerian agenesis most likely to be absent uterus and vagina, incomplete fusion most likely to be bicornuate/double uterus, double vagina, both associated with renal agenesis Cf: wolffian duct (12 Dec 1998) |
| mullerian ducts | Two ducts of the embryo which empty into the cloaca, and which in the female develop into vagina, uterus and oviducts; in the male they disappear except for the vestigial vagina masculina and the appendix testis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mullerian inhibiting factor | A 535 amino acid glycoprotein secreted by the Sertoli cells of the testis. It is related to inhibin. Synonym: mullerian inhibiting factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mullerian inhibiting substance | A 535 amino acid glycoprotein secreted by the Sertoli cells of the testis. It is related to inhibin. Synonym: mullerian inhibiting factor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mullerian regression factor | Mullerian duct inhibitory factor, a non-steroidal substance of foetal testicular origin that acts unilaterally to inhibit development of the paramesonephric (mullerian) ducts and acts with testosterone to promote development of the vas deferens and related structures.

| gonadal dysgenesis, mixed | A syndrome of gonadal dysgenesis in which there is a testis on one side and a "streak gonad" on the other. The phenotype is generally male, but may be female since the individual is a mosaic. Various karyotypes have been identified, including 45,xo/47,xyy; 45,xo/46,xy; and 45,xo/46,xyo. (12 Dec 1998) |

| mixed agglutination | Immune agglutination in which the aggregates contain cells of two different kinds but with common antigenic determinants; when used to identify isoantigens, the test cells are exposed to appropriate isoantibody, washed, and then mixed with indicator erythrocytes that combine with free sites on the test cell-attached isoantibody. Synonym: mixed agglutination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mixed agglutination reaction | Immune agglutination in which the aggregates contain cells of two different kinds but with common antigenic determinants; when used to identify isoantigens, the test cells are exposed to appropriate isoantibody, washed, and then mixed with indicator erythrocytes that combine with free sites on the test cell-attached isoantibody. Synonym: mixed agglutination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mixed aphasia | In which all aspects of speech and communication are severely impaired. at best, patients can understand or speak only a few words or phrases; they cannot read or write. Synonym: mixed aphasia, total aphasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
