ABDOMINAL AORTA 



IQ7 



The ovarian artery runs downward into the pelvis and passes 

 between the layers of the broad ligament to the ovary (p. 201), 

 freely supplying it and the Fallopian tubes. It ends by anasto- 

 mosing with the uterine artery (Figs. 134, 138).

The spermatic artery runs downward and along the brim of the 

 pelvis to pass out through the inguinal canal with the spermatic 

 cord; it continues downward in the scrotum to supply the testes. 



Special notes. The superior mesenteric lies between the layers of the
