. Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy. Anatomy. 1270 THE UEINO-GEXITAL SYSTEM. the ureters are placed about one inch apart, but when that viscus is distended they are often two inches, or more, distant from one another. As the ureter pierces the bladder wall the muscular fibres of the bladder and ureter remain quite distinct, and so the ureter, remaining a thick-walled tubular structure, appears to pass through a gap in the muscular wall of the bladder. The mucous coat alone of the ureter becomes continuous with that of the bladder. The canal of the ureter is not uniform throughout, but is somewhat constricted in certain places, corresponding to the regions where the ureter is most sharply curved or changes its direction. These more constricted parts of the tube are described as occurring one in the middle of the abdominal portion, one at the Branches of hypogastric artery Obturator artery Eight ureter Nerve cord from hypogastric plexus External iliac vessels -.

The coils of the small intestine and of the colon which lay within the pelvis have been lifted out in order to give a view of the lateral wall of the pelvic cavity. junction of the abdominal and pelvic portions, and one in the pelvic part of the ureter. Also just before the ureter joins the pelvis of the kidney and just as it reaches the bladder wall its lumen is usually somewhat constricted. In the female, the ureter, near its termination, passes beneath the lower part of the broad ligament of the uterus, and lies to the lateral side of the cervix uteri and the upper part of the lateral wall of the vagina. It is accompanied in the inferior part of its course by the uterine artery, which crosses it on its anterior aspect not far from its termination (Fig. 1002). Higher up it lies in the peritoneal ridge whi
