th these, a stratumof large club-shaped cells, with the nar-row extremity directed downwards andwedged in between smaller spindle-shaped cells, containing an oval nucleus(figs. 602, 603).Objects seen on the inner surface.—Upon the inner surface of the bladder areseen the orifices of the ureters, the trigone, and the commencement of theurethra. The orifi.ces of the iireters.—These are situated at the base of the trigone,being distant from each other about two inches; they are about an inch anda half from the base of the prostate and the commencement of the urethra. The trigonum vesiccB, or trigone vesical, is a triangular smooth surface withthe apex directed forwards, situated at the base of the bladder immediatelybehind the urethral orifice. It is paler in colour than the rest of the mucousmembrane, and never presents any rugae, even in the collapsed condition of theorgan, owing to its intimate adhesion to the subjacent tissue. It is bounded at Orifices of ducts ofCoivpers cjlands

Projecting from thelower and anterior part of the bladder, and reaching to the orifice of the urethra,is a shght elevation of mucous membrane, called the tcvula vesica. It is formedby a thickening of the submucous tissue. The arteries supplying the bladder are the superior, middle, and inferiorvesical in the male, with additional branches from the uterine and vaginal inthe female. They are all derived from the anterior trunk of the internal iliac.The obturator and sciatic arteries also supply small visceral branches to thebladder. The veins form a comphcated plexus round the neck, sides, and base of thebladder, and terminate in the internal iliac vein. The lymphatics accompany the blood-vessels, passing through the glandssurroundin
