The principles and practice of obstetrics . Fio. 82. TIIE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. 81 Fundus.—The fundus consists of that portion above the trans-verse line, extending from the uterine extremity of one fallopiantube to that of the other. Body and Neck,—The body is immediately below this line, andreaches downward to the narrowing of the organ, at which point. Fiq. 83. is the commencement of the cervix or neck (Fig. 33), which ex-tends into the vagina, and is terminated by the os tincae. Surfaces.—The two surfaces are the external and internal—theformer is divided into two regions, one anterior, the other anterior region is smooth, and slightly convex, while the pos-terior region presents a greater degree of convexity. Angles.—The three angles are two superior and lateral, repre-sented by the uterine extremities of the fallopian tubes, and oneinferior, represented by the os tincm. Borders.—The three borders are one superior, passing trans-versely from one superior and lateral angle to the other, imme-diately across the upper edge of the fundus; and two lateral,reaching, on each side, from the superior to the inferior angles ofthe organ. Volume of the Uterus.—The size of the uterus varies. In theinfant, it is small; in the girl, toward the advent of puberty, itincreases in volume, and continues to become developed unt
