Answer 1

9a	Vesical vein into Internal iliac vein	The vesical plexus covers the lower part of the bladder It forms the base of the prostate and associates with the pudendal and prostatic plexuses. By the help of vesical veins it drains into the internal iliac veins.
9b	paired ovarian veins	The ovarian veins associate to form a plexus in the region of mesovarium and suspensory ligament It drains into paired ovarian veins which accompany the ovarian artery and further drain into the inferior vena cava (right) and the renal vein (left).
9c	internal iliac vein	The uterine veins form the drain into internal iliac vein. The plexus is also joined with the superior rectal vein. These veins join together and form vena cava.
9d	internal iliac veins	The uterus is drained through the uterine vein. The uterine veins cause the formation of a uterine venous plexus on both side of the cervix. The veins that originate from the uterine plexus drain into the internal iliac veins.
