  2. Endometrial arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrial_arteries

    Arcuate arteries located in the uterus branch out and supply blood to different layers of the uterus. These arteries meet the myometrial-endometrial junction and lead to straight and endometrial arteries. [1] The endometrium receives blood from endometrial arteries which are also called spiral arteries. Endometrial arteries proliferate rapidly ...

  3. Uterine artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_artery

    It travels to the uterus, crossing the ureter anteriorly, to the uterus by traveling in the cardinal ligament. [1] Uterine artery. It travels through the parametrium of the inferior broad ligament of the uterus. It commonly anastomoses (connects with) the ovarian artery. The uterine artery is the major blood supply to the uterus and enlarges ...

  4. Arcuate vessels of uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_vessels_of_uterus

    The arcuate vessels of the uterus are a component of the blood supply of the uterus. They are arteries and veins that branch from the uterine arteries and veins, respectively, with additional anastomoses from the ovarian arteries and veins, [ 2 ] and penetrate and assume a circumferential course in the myometrium .

  5. Spiral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_artery

    Uterine arterial vasculature, showing spiral arteries at right. [1] Spiral arteries are small arteries which temporarily supply blood to the endometrium of the uterus during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. In histology, identifying the presence of these arteries is one of the most useful techniques in identifying the phase of the cycle.

  6. Uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus

    Diagram of uterine blood supply. The human uterus is supplied by arterial blood both from the uterine artery and the ovarian artery. Another anastomotic branch may also supply the uterus from anastomosis of these two arteries. Afferent nerves supplying the uterus are T11 and T12. Sympathetic supply is from the hypogastric plexus and the ovarian ...

  7. Endometrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrium

    In the uterus, simple tubular glands reach from the endometrial surface through to the base of the stroma, which also carries a rich blood supply provided by the spiral arteries. In women of reproductive age, two layers of endometrium can be distinguished.

  8. Tubal branch of uterine artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubal_branch_of_uterine_artery

    Vessels of the uterus and its appendages, rear view. ... The tubal branch of uterine artery is an artery anastamosing with the tubal branches of the ovarian artery. [1]

  9. Vaginal branches of uterine artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_branches_of...

    The uterine artery supplies branches to the cervix uteri and others which descend on the vagina; the latter anastomose with branches of the vaginal arteries and form with them two median longitudinal vessels—the vaginal branches of uterine artery (or azygos arteries of the vagina)—one of which runs down in front of and the other behind the vagina.
