‡ Uterine artery ‡ Ovarian artery ‡ Vaginal artery

Uterine Artery
‡ This crosses above the ureter, to which it supplies a small branch, and above the lateral vaginal fornix. ‡ It ascends tortuously lateral to the uterus in its broad ligament to the junction of the uterine tube and uterus, turning laterally towards the ovarian hilum, and ends by joining the ovarian artery. ‡ It supplies the cervix uteri and branches descend on the vagina, anastomosing with branches of the vaginal arteries to form two median longitudinal vessels, the azygos arteries of the vagina; one descends anterior, the other posterior, to the vagina. ‡ The uterine artery supplies the body of the uterus, uterine tube and round ligament of the uterus. ‡ Terminal branches in the uterine muscle are tortuous helicine arteries.

Vaginal Artery
‡ Often double or triple, it corresponds to the inferior vesical in males ‡ It descends on the vagina, supplying mucous membrane, and sends branches to the vestibular bulb, vesical fundus and the adjacent part of the rectum. ‡ It assists in forming the azygos arteries of the vagina .

‡ The vessels of the uterine tube arise from ovarian and uterine stems. Arteries: arteriographic evidence shows that the uterine artery usually supplies the medial twothirds of the tube, the ovarian the remainder, the partition between the two (which in any case anastomose) being variable. Veins are arranged similarly to the arteries, and intrinsic mucosal, muscular and subserous networks have been described

VENOUS DRAINAGE
‡ The veins form a plexus along the lateral border of uterus. ‡ The plexus drains through the uterine,ovarian and vaginal veins into the internal iliac veins.
