. The anatomy of the domestic animals. Veterinary anatomy. 730 LYMPHATIC SYSTEM OF THE OX AND SHEEP Tlip cfTcrfiit \cssp1s run forward on the baso of the uiUler. tlien incHne outward and pass througli flu- ;i|Hiii(uroscs of the oblique abdominal muscles at the lateral edge of the rectus ab- dominis, a li;iiii|:idih or more in front of the pubis. On reachinjj the femoral ring they follow the course ol tin' external iliac vessels to the deep inguinal gland. When the deep femoral gland on the upper part of the quadriceps femoris is present, some efferents go to it. Baum that efferents of one side may go to a supramammary or deep inguinal gland of the opposite side. The sacral lymph glands (Liis. sacralcs) may be sulxlivided into two groups.' (1) The medial sacral lymph glands (Lgg. sacrales mediales) are quite in- constant. When present, tliere is a gland on either side on the deep surface of the sacro-sciatic hgament, m the fat between the ligament and the rectum or the re- tractor ani. Its afferent vessels come from the pelvic urethra and urethral muscle, the root of the penis and its muscles, the prostate, the vagina and urethra, and the coccygeal muscles. The efferent vessels usually go to the mtenial iliac glands. (2) The lateral sacral lymph glands (Lgg. sacralcs laterales) comprise one or two inconstant nodes on tiir uppci- part of the outer surface of the sacro-sciatic ligament. One occurs m the majority of cases at the greater sciatic foramen; the other, which is further back, under the origin of the Inceps femoris, is absent on one side or both in more than half the cases. Their afferent vessels come from the gluteus profundus, the lumbo-dorsal fascia, the pelvic bones, and the hip joint. The efferent vessels go to the internal iliac and deep ingumal glands. The ischiatic lymph glands (Lgg. ischiadicee) are one or two in number. The one W'hich ajjjiears to Ije constant lies on the sacro-sciatic ligament, aI)out an inch (ca. 2-3 cm.) above the less
