ZPIVE JguresJrom ajijlh JubjeB at the full time, lo explain the ar-
-i ierial JyJlern of the pregnant womb.
This woman., immediately after a natural labour., grew faint, ai
was faid, without an apparent cauje; and died within thefpace of two
hours. The arteries were injeSled with red wax.
F I G. I.
The womb, inverted.
A The centre oj the Jurface lo which the placenta had been fixed; which was
at the back-parL of the fundus, (nid a little on the lejt ftde.
B B Immmerable convoluted arteries, with broken extremilies, where they had pajed
through the decidua into the placenta. _ .
C C C The orifices of thofe uterine veins, commonly called ftnufes, which had paffed
through the decidua lo the placenta. Thefe orifices were much more numerous
than they are reprefented in this figure.. The /mailer ejpecially were innumerable.
The pajage, or direSlion of thefe veins, _ was almojl parallel lo the Jurface oJ the
wombifo that their orifices were fcarce perceptible, without being injlated. Mojl of
them are reprefcTiled in that fiate; bolh that they may be more dijlin^, • by having a
mile fhade, and that their oblique dire^ion, and the orifices of their communications,
or anajlomofing branches, may be feen.
• D • . Part of the JurJace of the woinb where the membranes luid adhered. This wai
furnfhed with very fmalL vejels only; and was much fmoother than that part to
which the placenta had adhered. In every refpeci ilwas like the outerfurface of
the decidua.

A fore-view of the oulfide of (he fame womb, after it was dried, and become fo
Iranfparent, that the arteries could be feen dijlin&ly, as if they had been difperjed
on its outer furface. The objeSl was twelve inches long; from which it will be underjlood,
how much the fcale is reduced, in this, as well as in the third and fourth
figures, which are delineated lo the fame proportion. In drying, the preparation
was unavoidablymore flretched in its length, than in its width; whence in this, and
in Ihe following figure, Ihe womb is more oblong, than it is naturally.
A The edge of the ciU peritoneum, where it was refleHed from ihe womb to the
bladder.
B B The tubes. — C The left ovary.
D The right ovary. See Jig. V.
E E The round ligaments. In the left there is one large ferpcntine artery, fenl down
from an anaflomofing branch of the fpermatic and of the hypogajlric: in ihe right
there are Jeveral Jmali arteries.
F The trunk oJ the left hypogaflric artery, mounting upon the fide of the neck oJ
the womb.
G The trunk of the left fpermatic artery, pajfmg into the duplicalurc oJ the broad
ligament.
The diflribution of the arteries upon the womb requires no explanation. Their
ferpentine courfe, and frequent anaftomofes are apparent.

F The right hypogajlric artery.
G G The fpermatic arteries paJfmg into the broad ligaments.
HH The crouded ferpentine arteries in that part of the womb lykri.Mi-placenta
adhered.
By comparing the arteries in this figure, with thofe in the preceding, we fee thai
they are much larger, and more convoluted, in that fide of the womb to which the
placenta is fixed; the great current of blood being towards the placenta.

L The lube. — Yi The ligament of the lube, analogous to the mefentery.
C The external orifice oj the tube, furrounded by foliage-like fimbrix.
) The fimbrix continued Jrom each fide of the orifice oJ the tube, all along the
ligament, between that and the outer end of the ovary.
E The ovary cut open, with ferpentine arteries interfperfed through its fubfiance.
F Here, iii the fubfiance of the ovary, the corpus luteum isjeen,jplit through the
middle. Xo veffels appear at its centre, which is of a while complexion; but all
around that centre, itsJubfiance is very vajcutar.
