WE consider (1.) the arterial supply of the uterus, ovary, Fallopian tube, vagina, bladder, and rectum; (2.) that of the perineal region; (3.) the venous distribution. (1.) Arterial supply to uterus, ovary, etc.-The Ovarian artery of each side (corresponding to the spermatic of the male) is a branch of the abdominal aorta. Its relations when in the abdomen do not concern us here. In the pelvis it passes between the layers of the broad ligament, running tortuously towards the upper angle of the uterus. Near this it divides into two branches. The upper supplies the fundus uteri; the lower anastomoses at the side of the uterus with the uterine artery (Plate III. c, d). The Ovarian Artery gives off— Branches to the ampulla of the Fallopian tube (Plate III. a' a'), |
