Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Plexus, 1906, Vol. 12
The uterus lies in the pelvis, with the cervix directed backward, and held up well toward the hollow of the sacrum by means of the sacrouterine ligaments. The fundus is directed forward. And held by means of the round ligaments acting as guy-ropes The broad ligaments, running from the sides of the uterus to the pelvic wall, together with the previously named ligaments, and the connective tissue, blood-vessels, nerves etc., act as carriers of the uterus and adnexa. Much aid is given to these carriers by the intact pelvic floor. With the bladder empty, the long axis of the body of the uterus is nearly horizontal, while that of, the cervix is continued backward from that of the body, and slightly downward. There is now a range. Of normal move ment and a wider range of abnormal movement. Under normal conditions, the uterus is so nicely balanced that with each step, respiratory effort, cough, or jar, there is a cor responding movement of this organ.
