The Vagina 31 ?uith the anterior parietal attachment of the ligament muchfarther forward, renders the accident comparatively rare. The comparative amplitude of the ligament in the cow, withits most anterior point of parietal attachment but little forwardof the pelvis, permits more readily of inversion and prolapse ofthe uterus and vagina (which see) than obtains in other animals. In multiparous animals the broad ligaments are necessarilyverj extensive and uniformly have their anterior point of attach-ment to the abdominal walls far forward in the post-renalregion.
