The practice of obstetrics, designed for the use of students and practitioners of medicine . sigmoid flexure; u., ureter; , .utero-sacral ligament; , uterineartery; , ovarian ligament; ut., uterus; b., bladder; , inferior uretericartery.—(Tandler and Halban.) and I inch ( cm.) in thickness. The hypertrophy of the uterus is concernednot only with the muscle-fibers, but with the connective tissue and all thevessels. These changes are reflex in character, and begin with , the uterus increases up to the fourth month, even in tubal or any formof extrauterine pregnancy. The growth of the ovum may act at first as aphysiological cause of these changes, but not as a mechanical one. Uterineenlargement is not directly dependent upon the presence of the ovum, for the SIZE OF THE UTERUS. 93 latter does not entirely fill the cavity of the organ at the end of the fifth month;consequently it is not until this time that mechanical distention can be reckonedas an influential factor. At first this hypertrophic process affects all parts Fallopiantube. !Pfr~- RoundLigament Body of Uterws.— Isthmus -^_ Extroy Vaaincd, portion on Cervix, External os Posterior Wall ofVo^inciy-
