LYMPHATIC VESSELS OF ABDOMINAL AND PELVIC VISCERA 797 with the spermatic cord, and, accompanying the spermatic vessels into the abdo- men, terminate in the lateral aortic nodes. The lymphatic vessels of the vas deferens pass to the external iliac nodes; those of the vesiculae seminales partly to the internal and partly to the external iliac nodes.

(Cuneo and Ma The lymphatic vessels of the ovary are similar to those of the testicle, and ascend with the ovarian artery to the lateral aortic nodes. The lymphatic vessels of the Fallopian tube pass partly with those of the ovary and partly with those of the uterus. The lymphatic vessels of the uterus (Fig. 1149) consist of two sets, superficial and deep, the former being placed beneath the peritoneum, the latter in the sub- stance of the organ. The lymphatics of the cervix uteri run in three directions— transversely to the external iliac nodes, postero-Jaterally to the internal iliac nodes, and posteriorly to the common iliac nodes. The majority of the vessels of the body and fundus of the uterus pass outward in the broad ligaments, and are con- tinued up with the ovarian vessels to the lateral aortic nodes; a few, however, run to the external iliac nodes, and one or two to the superficial inguinal nodes. In the unimpregnated uterus the lymphatic vessels are very small, but during gestation are greatly enlarged. The l3Tnphatic vessels of the vagina extend in three directions—those of the upper part to the external iliac nodes, those of the middle part to the internal iliac nodes, and those of the lower part to the common iliac nodes. On the course of those from the middle and lower parts small nodes are situated. Some lymphatics from the lower part of the vagina join those of the vulva and pass to the superficial inguinal nodes. The lymphatics of the vagina anastomose with those of the cervix uteri, vulva, and rectimi, but not with those of the bladder.
