These are prolongations of the ute-rine plexus that lies over the bifurcation of the aorta. The uterinebranches spring from the sides of the pelvic plexuses, run inwardbetween the folds of the broad ligaments until they reach the cervix,when they turn upward, accompanying the branches of the uterineartery and entering the substance of the organ with them. A largenervous mass, situated between the cervix and rectum, arise- from the Fig. Transverse Section of the Body, showing relations of fundus uteri (Savage): Jf, pubes; A, A,hypogastric arteries in front, spermatic vessels and nerves behind: is, bladder; I., L, roundligaments; U, fundus uteri; r, T, Fallopian tubes; 0,0, ovaries; R, rectum; . rightureter; C, utero-sacral ligaments; V, last lumbar vertebra. union of branches of the upper sacral nerves and ganglia, and a num-ber of sympathetic twigs from the hypogastric plexus: it supplies thecervix chiefly, and is enormously enlarged during pregnancy.
