[edit] Move to "mesonephric duct"

I suggest this article be moved to "mesonephric duct". I know "Wolffian duct" gives slightly more google results, and therefore is slightly more commonly used. However, mesonephric duct is more descriptive when comparing with other ducts, e.g. the paramesonephric duct, or the final "nephric" duct. In short, it is a better name.

As a non-expert, I would say that sounds logical.

[edit] Female Development

Surely the ducts do not both develop and wither? Is it not fail to develop and wither?

[edit] Origin of Prostate

According to 6th edition of Moore and Persaud "Before we are born - Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defacts", the prostate is NOT derived from the mesonephric duct (as stated in the article), but rather the urogenital sinus. Anybody know what's correct?
