 on the suinr side. 



in spite of its small size the ovary gives origin to a great variety of tumors and 



:iich may grow to enormous proportions, filling and distending the abdomen. 



they grow they at first crowd the uterus and other pelvic structures towards the 



opposite side ; later they ascend into the abdomen, drawing the attached structures 



upward with them in their pedicles. The pedicle is the base of attachment, and 



of the same anatomical structures as those by which the ovary is normally 



attached. The relations of the structures making up the pedicle to one another will 



\.iry greatly according to the manner in which the tumor grows. This relationship 



should be studied carefully to establish a correct diagnosis as to the origin of the 



tumor. The anatomical structures involved in the pedicle are the mesovarium, 



-.alpin.x, Fallopian tube, and broad ligament. 



THE FALLOPIAN TUBES. 



The Fallopian tube i ttil>a uterinae) or oviduct is in principle the excretory canal 

 of the sexual gland, the ovary, since it conveys the ova liberated from the Graafian 

 icles to the uterus, into which it opens. The relation between the ovary and its 

 , however, is exceptional in that these organs are not continuous, but only in ap- 

 position, the ova liberated from the ovary finding their way into the expanded end of
