The development and differentiation of the human seminal vesicles has been studied using 14 human male fetuses and 4 postnatal specimens. Earlier accounts of the morphogenesis of the seminal vesicle have been reviewed and commented upon in the light of the present findings. Previously undocumented observations include the movements of the mesenchyme, the formation of epithelial folds and the development of the lamina propria and tunica muscularis. Epithelial differentiation is also described. The function of the basal cells and the possible prepubertal secretory activity of the seminal vesicle are discussed. More work is required on the differentiation of the vesicle between birth and puberty.
利用14例人类男性胎儿和4例出生后标本，对人类精囊的发育和分化进行了研究。根据目前的研究结果，对精囊形态发生的早期描述进行了回顾和评论。以前未记录的观察结果包括间充质的运动、上皮褶皱的形成以及固有层和肌层的发育。还描述了上皮分化。讨论了基底细胞的功能以及精囊青春期前可能的分泌活动。关于出生至青春期期间精囊的分化，还需要开展更多研究。
