Microvascularization of the female urethra in fetuses, neonates and infants.

The microvascularization of the female urethra was studied in fetuses, neonates and infants by injection of agarized China ink into the circulation. The purpose of this study was to specify the angioarchitecture of each tunic and their specific drainage. The disposition of the microvascularization of the urethra is superimposed on the orientation of the fibers of the muscular tunic. The orientation of the veins of the sub-mucous tunic is longitudinal and not plexiform.
