Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ... renals. Each vessel passes downwards and outwards upon the psoas, crosses the ureter, and enters the internal abdominal ring. From hence it accompanies the vas deferens along the inguinal canal, and downwards to the scrotum and testicle. Dividing into four or five branches, it enters the testicle at the back part, and piercing the corpus Highmorianum, supplies the testicular tissue. It is tortuous in the abdomen and in the scrotum. The right artery differs only from the left inasmuch as it crosses the inferior vena cava anteriorly, shortly after its commencement. The ocarian artery in the female pursues at first a similar course to the spermatic; but at the brim of the pelvis it passes inwards to the pelvis, and entering the broad ligament of the uterus, is conducted by it to the ovary, into which it enters at the anterior surface. It also sends branches to the uterus, the Fallopian tube, and one upwards along the round ligament of the uterus. VII. The lumbar arteries, four pairs, arise from the postero-lateral aspects of the aorta, and pass nearly horizontally outwards. Each vessel passes beneath the sympathetic cord, and opposite the hollow on the side of a vertebra takes advantage of the fibrous arches formed by the origin of the psoas muscle, to run backwards beneath the psoas to reach the transverse processes. Beneath the fibrous arches of the psoas are a lumbar artery, a lumbar vein, and two sympathetic nerves, on their way from the lumbar ganglia to the anterior primary divisions of the lumbar nerves. The upper lumbar arteries also pass beneath the respective crura of the diaphragm. liranches.--(1) The abdominal branch of the artery runs outwards, from the region of the transverse processes, beneath the quadratus lumborum muscle; passing to the post...
