Fig. 623 a, b, c, and d. Four diagrams of the development of the external form of the female uterus

The mesonephric folds and the genital cord are shaded obliquely, the mesenchymatous uterine wall vertically. The various parts of the primitive uterine wall and of the utero-vaginal canal are lettered. S vertical portion; h, horizontal portion of the wall of the primitive tube; F, fundus uteri; C, cervix uteri; V, vagina.

Diagram a shows the position of the primitive tubes and of the utero-vaginal canal after it is completed.

Diagram b shows the relation of the mesenchymatous uterine wall to the primitive tubes and to the utero-vaginal canal. It encloses the whole of the horizontal portion of both tubes in the uterine region and as a result the lig. rotundum is brought into relation with the uterine wall. The fundus uteri is bent in at an angle (uterus introrsum arcuatus).

Diagram c shows the broadening of the horizontal portion of both tubes to form the fundus uteri, the broadening taking place in such a way as to straighten out the inward bend {uterus plani/undus) .

Diagram d The broadening of the fundus has increased and it is curved outward (uterus foras arcuatus). lig. rotund, (chorda gubernaculi)
