The Uterine Artery.—In a large proportion of casesthis artery comes from the hypogastric trunk, a branch of Common iliac. External iliac. Hypogastric vesical. hemorrhoidal.—Obturator.— Internal Ilio-lumbar. Sciatic. Gluteal. Fig. 4.—Diagram to show the uterine artery arising from the hypogastric stem (Parsons and Keith). the anterior division of the internal iliac, which breaks upinto superior vesical, inferior vesical, and uterine branches(Fig. 4). In other cases the uterine artery arises as a sepa-rate branch from the anterior division of the internal runs under the pelvic peritoneum toward the cervix: on ANATOMY OF REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS. 2$ entering the mesometrium it turns upward and pursues atortuous course on the side of the uterus nearer the pos-terior than the anterior surface, and on approaching thefundus inosculates with the ovarian arteiy. In its coursealong the uterus it gives many branches which pass acrossthe anterior and posterior wall of the organ to anastomosewith corresponding twigs from the opposite artery. 3. The Vaginal Arteries.—There are two or three vagi-nal arteries which arise
