Fig. 4.

The Inferior or Back-part of the same Impreg∣nated Vterus, &c. Exprest Fig. 1. Its Vessels here being Injected with Wax.

A A, The Fundus Vteri somewhat Enlarg'd by reason its Veins are Injected with Wax.

B B, The Veins fill'd with a Dark Colour'd Wax:

C, The Arteries with Red Wax: Both which Vessels become Distended by Injecting of their Large Trunks on either Side.

D, Part of the External Membrane of the V∣terus deriv'd from the Peritonaeum, Rais'd from the Cervix Vteri.

E, That Part of the Peritonaeum, call'd Li∣gamentum Latum Vteri.

F, The Ovaria of the Left Side.

G G, The Falloppian Tubes also fill'd with White Wax, and very Tortuous in this Position, their Extremities being drawn from the Ovaria.

H, The Round Ligament of the Left Side.

I I, The Broad Ligaments like Batt's Wings joining the Falloppian Tubes to the Ovaria, where the Blood-Vessels passing to and from the Ovaria, are Exprest.

K K, The Vasa Spermatica cut off. These Spermatick Veins and Arteries are not only Inos∣culated in their Large Trunks, with the Hypoga∣strick Veins and Arteries of the Vterus, but those of the Right Side of the Vterus, are Inosculated with the Left, in such Manner that by Injecting of Wax into one of the Spermatick Veins, it will not only fill the Hypogastricks, but the Sperma∣tick Vein also of the contrary Side. The like will not happen by Injecting Wax into the Arte∣ries, because their Trunks are Smaller than the Veins. But Mercury readily passes from the Arteries of one Side to those of the other.
