supravaginalThe cervix
The cervix held in position by
1- Transverse ligament of the cervix which pass to the lateral pelvic wall.2- Uterosacral ligament.
Blood supply of the uterus
1- Uterine artery branch from the internal iliac artery enters broad ligament divided into ascending and descending branches.2- Ovarian artery gives branches to the upper part of the uterus.
The venous drainage through uterine vein to the internal iliac vein.
Blood supply of the uterus
Lymphatic drainage
1- The fundus drains to the lumbar nodes through the ovarian vessels.2- Some lymphatic from the fundus pass through the round ligament to the superficial inguinal nodes.
3- Lymphatics from the body drains to the internal or external iliac nodes.
4- The cervix drains to internal iliac and lateral sacral nodes.
The vagina
Relations of the vagina
Vaginal fornices
Blood supply of the vagina
1- The vaginal artery which is a branch from the internal iliac artery.2- Twigs from middle rectal artery.
3- The descending branch of the uterine artery.
4- The lower part of the vagina receives branches from the internal pudendal artery.
Venous drainage through vaginal and uterine veins to the internal iliac vein.
lymphatic drainage of the vagina
1- The upper part drains to the internal iliac or sacral nodes.2- The middle and lower part to the internal or external nodes.
3- The lowest part to the superficial inguinal nodes.
Vessels of the lesser pelvis
Internal iliac artery gives anterior branches include

Posterior branches of internal iliac artery
Lymph nodes of lesser pelvis
1- The external iliac nodes drain the lower limb, abdominal wall and pelvic viscera drain into the common iliac nodes.2- The internal iliac nodes receive the lymph from pelvic viscera , the perineum, the gluteal region and the back of the thigh drain into the common iliac nodes.
3- The sacral nodes drain the posterior pelvic wall and the pelvic viscera.
Sacral plexus
Branches from the ventral rami before it form the plexus are:1- nerve to piriformis muscle.
2- nerves to coccygeus and levator ani muscle.
3- Pelvic splanchnic nerves from S2, S3 and S4 contain preganglionoc parasympathetic nerve fibers to the inferior hypogastric plexus.
Sacral plexus
