(The organs have been partly drawn out of tlieir position; the peritonaeum has been removed.) 



5. A. uterina (uterine artery) (present only iu the female) (see also Fi^r. 472) goes for- 

 ward- beneath the peritonaeum at first on the inner wall of the small pelvis, then turns median- 

 ward, runs through the parametriimi obli(iuely forward in Iront of the ureter to the cei'vix uteri 

 aud there gives off the a. vaginalis, whieh runs downward on the lateral wall of the vagina. The 

 uterine artery then runs aloug the margo lateralis uteri, following a very tortuous course between 

 the layers of the ligamentum latum uteri, as far as the fundus uteri and sends off numerous 

 corkscrew-like, tortuous branches to the anterior and posterior surfaces of the uterus, anastomosing 

 with one another and with those of the other side; it ends in a branch which runs in the 

 ligamentum latum partly to the ligamentum teres uteri and to the tuba wtemvA (ramus tuha- 

 rins), partly to the ovary (ramus ovarii) ; the latter branch runs along the margo mesovariciLS 

 of the ovarv and forms a broad anastomosis with the a. ovarica.
