Muscular Fibres between its Folds.—A number of muscular fibresare also found in this situation, lying between the meshes of theconnective tissue. They have been particularly studied by Kouget,who describes them as interlacing with each, other, and forming anopen network, continuous with, the muscular tissue of the uterus Fig. Posterior View of Muscular and Vascular Arrangements. (After Kouget.) Vessels. — 1, 2,3. Vaginal, cervical, aud uterine plexuses. 4. Arteries of body of uterus. 5. Arteriessupplying ovary. Muscular fasciculi.—6, 7. Fibres attached to vagina, symphysis pubis, and sacro-iliac joint 8. Muscular fasciculi from uterus and broad ligaments. 9,10,11,12. Fasciculi attachedto ovary and Fallopian tubes. (Fig. 28). They are divisible into two layers, the anterior of whichis continuous with the muscular fibres of the anterior surface of theuterus, and goes to form part of the round ligament; the posteriorarises from the posterior wall of the uterus, and proceeds transverselyoutwards, to become attached to the sacro-iliac synchondrosis. Acontinuous muscular envelope is thus formed, which surrounds thewhole of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Its function isnot yet thoroughly established. It is supposed to have the effect ofretractin
