to the inner side of the artery, but gets to the inner side above 

 and runs in the middle compartment of the femoral sheath. 

 The external iliac lies at first to the inner side of its artery, but 

 gets behind this higher up. The internal iliac lies behind and 

 to the inner side of its artery. [895-899] 



The superficial veins end in two trunks, the saphenous 

 veins. The internal or long saphenous ascends from the foot 

 and over the leg to the knee, where it runs just behind the in- 

 ternal femoral condyle and then upward and slightly forward 

 to the saphenous opening; here it pierces the cribriform fascia 

 and femoral sheath to end in the femoral vein. The external 

 or short saphenous ascends on the back of the leg to the lower 

 part of the popliteal space, where it pierces the popliteal fascia 

 and joins the popliteal vein. [900] 



LYMPHATICS. 



Glands of Pelvis. The pelvic parietal glands include the fol- 

 lowing groups, viz. : external iliac, lying on that artery in 

 three groups, outer, middle, and inner, placed respectively to 

 the outer side, in front of, and to the inner side of it; obtu- 

 rator (inconstant), lying at the back of the obturator canal; 

 lateral sacral, lying in the hollow of the sacrum, behind the 

 rectum ; internal iliac, lying beside that artery on the pelvic 

 wall ; and common iliac, lying beside that artery. [920] 



Glands of Lower Extremity. The superficial glands lie 

 about the groin in three groups, viz. : superior or inguinal, ly- 

 ing parallel with and just below Poupart's ligament; inferior 

 or superficial femoral, lying along the upper part of the internal 

 saphenous vein; and internal or pubic, lying internal to the 

 saphenous opening and close to the pubic spine. [916] 



The deep glands include the following groups, viz. : popliteal, 

 lying in the popliteal space, generally around the artery ; and 

 deep femoral, lying on the inner side of the femoral vein in Scar- 

 pa's triangle and (the largest gland) the crural canal. [916]
