The uterine artery (Fig. 132) passes between the layers of thebroad ligament to the cervix of the uterus, then runs upward alongthe side of the body, supplying it freely with blood, and anastomos-ing with the ovarian artery. The arteries of the organs in the lower part of the pelvis arenumerous. There are: three (or four) vaginal arteries, three (ormore) vesical arteries, three hemorrhoidal arteries, all derived from Mesentericbranches
