1018 THE VASCULAE SYSTEM. •- Ovary „v External iliac and sub- ' aortic lymph gland -Subinguinal lymph gland Hypogastric lymph glands •V- External iliac lymph glands (glands "' Vessels to ano-rectal, sacral, and sub-aortic lymph urethra have not yet been satisfactorily demonstrated, but it is stated that they pass to the hypogastric glands, to the medial supra-femoral gland of the external iliac group, and to the higher glands of the external iliac group. The lymph vessels of the prostatic part of the urethra unite with the other lymph vessels of the prostate. The Lymph Vessels of the Prostate pass to the anterior and lateral vesical glands, to the* external iliac glands, to the hypogastric glands, and to the sacral and hemorrhoidal glands. They anastomose with the lymph vessels of the bladder and the deferent duct. The Lymph Vessels of the Urethra of the Female have terminations corresponding with those of the vessels of the membranous and prostatic portions of the urethra of the male. The Lymph Vessels of the Seminal Vesicle, on each side, pass to the medial glands of the external iliac group. The Lymph Vessels of the Ductus Deferens, on each side, anastomose with those of the seminal vesicle, and they pass to the hypogastric and external iliac glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Urinary Bladder.—Many of the lymph vessels from the antero- lateral aspect of the urinary bladder pass to the corresponding anterior and lateral vesical lymph glands and, through them, become connected with the external iliac and hypogastric glands, but some apparently pass directly to the hypogastric lymph glands. The lymph vessels from the superior, and many from the posterior part of the bladder, on each side, end in the external uterine tube *jjpLumbar lymph glands iliac and hypogastric glands, but Lymph vessels from some from the posterior part pass oTuterus upper par directly to the sub-aortic glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Ureter.—Little is known of the lymph vessels of the ureter ex- cept that those of its lower extremity anastomose with the lymph vessels of the urinary bladder. It is suggested that the vessels pass to the nearest lymph glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Vagina.—The lymph vessels of the lower part of the vagina anastomose with the lymph vessels of the labia minora and so trans- mit lymph to the superficial subinguinal glands. The lymph vessels of the upper parts of the vagina pass to the hypogastric glands and also, with the lymph vessels of the cervix uteri, to the external iliac glands. Some of the lymph vessels from the pos- terior wall of the vagina terminate in the ano-rectal glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Uterus.—The Lymph Vessels of the Lower Part of the Uterus. The majority of the lymph vessels from the lower part of the uterus, including the cervix, unite with the lymph vessels of the upper part of the vagina and pass to the hypogastric glands including the inter-iliac group (p. 1017). Some pass to the external iliac glands, and others from the lower and posterior part become associated with the ano-rectal, the sacral, and the sub-aortic glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Body of the Uterus run in several directions. The most im- portant outflow is along the upper part of the broad ligament, below the uterine tube, to the region of the ovary where there is an anastomosis with the ovarian lymph vessels. Afterwards the lymph vessels of this stream cross the brim of the pelvis minor and ascend to the lumbar lymph glands. The accessory outflows are to the external iliac glands ; to the sub-aortic glands; and, along the round ligament, to the superior group of sub-inguinal glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Uterine Tube accompany the vessels of the main outflow from the body of the uterus, and those from the ovary, and pass to the lumbar lymph glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Ovaries.—The lymph vessels of each ovary accompany the ovarian artery and some of the uterine lymph vessels, along the upper part of the broad ligament, to the brim of the pelvis minor and then upwards to the lumbar lymph glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Testis and Epididymis.—The testis and the epididymis are not normally pelvic organs in the adult, but their lymph vessels may be considered here, inas- much as the testes correspond, morphologically, with the ovaries. The lymph vessels of each testis and its epididymis accompany the testicular arteries and ascend to the lumbar region where they terminate in the lumbar lymph glands. The Lymph Vessels of the Rectum.—The lymph vessels of the rectum and the upper part of the anal canal pass for the most part along the middle and superior hgemorrhoidal vessels.
