. The anatomy of the domestic animals . Veterinary anatomy. 606 GENITAL ORGANS OF THE COW end, and have no ovulation fossa. They are situated usually a little above the middle of the lateral margin of the pelvic inlet in the non-pregnant subject, but may be a little further forward. They are thus about 16 to 18 inches (ca. 40-45 cm.) from the vulvar opening in a cow of medium size. The greater part of the surface of the gland is covered with germinal epithelium, the peritoneal epithelium being limited to a narrow zone along the attached border. Follicles of various sizes /'• are often seen projecting from the surface, as well as corpora lutea; a corpus luteum verum has a pronounced yellow color, and may reach a width of half an inch or more (ca. cm.). The uterine or Fallopian tubes are long (ca. 20-25 cm.) and less flexuous than in the mare. The junction with the cornu of the uterus is not so abrupt as in the mare, since the extremities of the horns are pointed. The uterine orifice of the tube is rather large and funnel-shaped. The fimbriae are not so extensive as in the mare. The uterus lies almost entirely within the abdominal cavity in the adult. The body is only about an inch and a half (ca. 3-4 cm.) in length, although externally it.
