    of the diseases of xue uterus. UTERUS AFTER THE RECENT DELIVERY I»'*' BOIVIIT AMD DUGES. PL. IV. OF A FŒTUS AT ITS FULL SIZE, SEEN ON ITS ANTERIOR FACE, AND STILL COVERED BY THE PERITONŒUM. ITS COLOUR IS ALL OVER OF A LILAC-PINK. EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. A, Median line turned round in two opposite directions. B, B. Origin of the tubes. I, I. Tubes. C, C. Origin of the round ligaments. O. Ovaries. D, D. Plans of the exterior concentric fibres , designated by J. Sue by the name of quadrï-twin muscles, and compared by Alph. Leroy to the nuts in wood. A similar disposition is re¬ markable upon the opposite partition. This disposition of the fibrous plans of the uterus , so different from what we have seen in the virgin uterus, also from the same organ in a state of pregnancy , very often still differs from this in several other circumstances useless to mention here. But since we I ! f s I I i ! have continued our researches upon the structure of the uterus, we have found that all these puckers are only formed at the expense of the peritonceum and of the sub-peritoneial uterine tunic which covers the real fibrous plans of the uterus. These, in contracting themsel-. ves have nearly preserved , their primitive disposition ; this dispo¬ sition , we have recognised since we have been able to take off en¬ tirely the two tunics which envelope the uterus, and adhere to it in an excessively close manner, especially upon the median and up¬ per regions. This new discovery of the true disposition of the fibrous plans of the matrix after delivery, has been made the subject of a me¬ moir inserted in the bulletin of the medico-practical society. 1830 (see the% following figures)
