This exterior stratum is sometimes described as a separate muscle by the name of detrusor urince: its fibres, which are very thin and often scattered, originate near the neck of the bladder and diverge so as to embrace the whole organ. Or, in the more circumstantial description of Dr. Erasmus Wilson, "the anterior longitudinal fibres commence by four tendons, two superior from the ossa pubis, and two inferior from the rami of the ischia on each side, and spread out as they ascend upon the anterior surface of the bladder to its fundus: they then converge upon the posterior surface of the organ and descend to its neck, where they are inserted into the isthmus of the prostate gland, and into a ring of muscular tissue which surrounds the commencement of the prostatic portion of the urethra. Some of the anterior fibres are also attached to this ridge. The lateral fibres commence at the prostate gland and the muscular ring of the urethra on one side, and spread out as they ascend upon the side of the bladder to descend upon the opposite side, and be inserted into the prostate and opposite segment of the same ring.'" The internal muscular fibres run in various directions, being circular, transverse and spiral, with occasional interstices between their fasciculi into which the mucous membrane dips in the manner of small, superficial pouches; a conformation that becomes very distinct in hypertrophied bladders. Some other peculiarities in the muscular tissue will be presently described. The fibrous coat is placed between the muscular and mucous envelopes: it is white, strong, and elastic, and sends prolongations among the fasciculi of the muscular fibres. It is the medium through which the blood-vessels and nerves are distributed to the mucous c...
