576. The Ramification of the Internal Pudic Artery. 



4. The transverse perinea 1, for the region between anus and 

 Bulbus urethrae, is either a branch of the superficial perineal or the 

 internal pudic ; 



5. The artery of the bulb of the urethra for the Bulbus 

 urethrae and C o w p e r's glands ; 



6. The artery of the Corpus cavernosum (Art. profunda penis) passes 

 to the anterior extremity of the Corpus cavernosum. 



7. The dorsal artery of the penis (or clitoris) ascends 

 between the crus and pubic symphisis, runs forwards on the dorsum of 

 the penis to the glans, and accompanies with the corresponding artery 

 of the opposite side the dorsal vein of the penis. In the foetus the 

 internal iliac artery is called the hypogastric; from it arises the 

 umbilical artery, which, converging towards its fellow of the opposite 

 side, passes to the umbilicus and from there to the umbilical cord, and 

 ramifies in the placenta. After birth the umbilical arteries become imper- 

 vious and form the Ligamenta vesico-umbilicalia lateralia. The obliteration 

 continues up to the origin of the superior vesical artery.
