The oc- casional introduction here of illustrations from com- parative anatomy and physiology is employed for the purpose of elucidating those questions which cannot be clearly explained by observations made only upon the human subject. superficies: viz., into two sides, situated anteriorly and posteriorly with regard to the body ; two extremities, outer and inner; and two borders, superior and inferior. Of the two sides, that which is directed anteriorly (fig. 370. c) is both shorter and less Fig. 370.. Vertical section of ovary. (Ad Nat.)

In this respect the ovary resembles the uterus, whose posterior surface is always more rounded than the anterior; by attention to this pecu- liarity the right ovary may be readily distin- guished from the left after these organs have been detached from the uterus.
