ABDOMEN AND PELVIS 547 



(a) Abdominal mouth of uterine tube (ostium abdominale tubae uter- 



inae ) . 



This communicates with the peritoneal cavity. 



(b) Infundibulum of uterine tube (infundibulum tubae uterinae). 



(c) Fimbriae of tube (fimbriae tubae). 



(ca) Ovarian fimbria (fimbria ovarica). 



(d) Ampulla of uterine tube (ampulla tubae uterinae). 



(e) Isthmus of uterine tube (isthmus tubae uterinae).

Scheme of the development of the internal female genital organs, showing their initial situation 

 ami tlicir situation again after apparent descent. Organs which persist are in unbroken outline (except 

 the ovary in the lower position), those that atrophy are in dotted outline (Hertwig). (After Poirier et 

 Clmrpy, Traite d'Anat. hum., Paris, 1901, 2 ed., t. v. p. 399, Fig 290.) 



Round Ligament of Uterus (Ligamentum teres uteri). (Vide Spalte- 

 holz, Figs. 665, 667, 675.) 



Dissect out the round ligament forward to the annulus in- 

 guinalis abdominalis. Do any lymphatics accompany the round 

 ligament? If so, with what lymph-nodes do they communicate? 

 From what is the round ligament developed, and what is its 

 homologue in the male? What is its function? What is the 

 vaginal process of the peritoneum (processus vaginalis peri- 

 tonaei) (O. T. canal of Nuck ) .' 



Diaphragm of the Pelvis (Diaphragma pelvis). (Vide Spalteholz, 



Figs. 670, 671.) 



Dissect out the following muscles and determine their rela- 

 tions to the bladder, vagina, uterus, and rectum. Compare these 

 muscles with those in the ma ] e, noting carefully any differences.
