Part 300

The arrangement is the only exception to the general rule that the serous cavities are closed. In this case the mucous membrane of the fimbriated extremity is continuous with the adjacent peritoneum, a persistence of the embryonic relations of the Müllerian duct.

Footnote 152:

In formalin-hardened subjects there is frequently a pronounced ring-like constriction at the beginning of the vulva.

Footnote 153:

The term vulva is used here in the sense in which it is understood generally by English and French veterinarians. In the German works it is applied only to the labia and other structures around the external orifice of the urogenital sinus, while the sinus itself is termed the vestibule of the vagina (Vestibulum vaginæ).

Footnote 154:

Lesbre states that the cornua may attain a length of 45 to 50 cm.

Footnote 155:

The pericardium is described before the heart since it must be examined first in the laboratory.

Footnote 156:

This is termed the tubercle of Lower in human anatomy and the tuberculum intervenosum by German veterinary anatomists.

Footnote 157:

These vessels will be described later in their systematic order.

Footnote 158:

The relation to the guttural pouch is not constant. In some cases—especially when the head and neck are extended—the artery lies behind the pouch. The backward extension of the latter is variable.

Footnote 159:

By some authors the term facial is applied to the artery only after it turns around the lower border of the jaw.

Footnote 160:

The artery is conveniently placed at its inflection for taking the pulse, since it is superficial and lies directly on the bone.

Footnote 161:

This vessel appears to represent both the supraorbital and frontal of man.

Footnote 162:

The term axillary is often applied to the artery from the first rib to the point of origin of the subscapular branch.

Footnote 163:

The pulse can be taken where the artery lies on the lateral ligament, since the pectoral muscle is thin here.

Footnote 164:

This vessel is also termed the A. metacarpea volaris superficialis or the palmar metacarpal artery.
