The canal of the cervix may now measure several inches in length. By degrees the protruded part undergoes in addi- tion the concentric and excentric hypertrophy which is common to all cases of procidentia, and the lips gradually acquire the same ap- pearance as in jig. 472. Among the anomalies of size may also be included those examples of imperfect involu- tion of the uterus after pregnancy, in which the organ retains for several months the or- dinary size characteristic of it shortly after labour. Pathological conditions of the separate tissues of the uterus.—Reserving for future notice the affections of the gravid uterus, those morbid states which are observed in the unimpreg- nated organ will be at present considered. These may be divided into such as belong to (I) the peritoneum; (2) the subperitoneal tissue; (3) the parenchyma; and (4) the mucous lining of the uterus. 1. Pathological conditions of the peritoneal coat. a. The external position of the peritoneal coat, and the small amount which it con- tributes to the bulk of the uterus, combine to.
