THE URINO GENITAL ORGANS 



The fundus (fundus uteri) (Fig. 1161) is the upper broad extremity of the uterus. 

 If a line is drawn from the uterine opening of one Fallopian tube to the other, 

 the portion above the line is the fundus. The fundus is directly continuous with 

 the body. 



The body of the uterus (corpus uteri} (Fig. 1161) gradually narrows from the 

 fundus to the isthmus. In outline, when seen from in front or behind, it resembles 

 a triangle, the base being above and the apex being absent. The anterior surface 

 (fades vesicales) is so slightly rounded as to appear flattened. It is covered by

peritoneum (Fig. 1161), which becomes reflected from it at its isthmus to form the 

 uterovesical pouch, which lies between the uterus and bladder (Fig. 1165). Its 

 posterior surface is more rounded than the anterior, being convex transversely. 

 It is covered by peritoneum throughout (Fig. 1166), and separated from the 

 rectum by some convolutions of the small intestine (Fig. 1165). The peritoneum 

 which covers the posterior surface forms most of the anterior wall of Douglas'
