Question

To which structure do the mesovarium, ovarian ligament, and suspensory ligament anchor the ovary?

Answer 1

Hint: The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, vagina, external genitalia and vestibular gland. In the female reproductive tract, ligaments are present to support the internal genitalia.

Complete answer:
In the female genitalia, different types of gland get to connect with the help ligaments to support the internal genitalia. These ligaments are divided into the broad ligament, uterine ligament and ovarian ligament. Mesovarium is a part of broad ligaments. In the female genital tract, the ovarian artery gets to pass through the suspensory ligament and then enter the ovary via the mesovarium. The ovarian ligament helps to connect the ovary to the uterus and then to the ovarian tube.

Additional information:
The broad ligament of the uterus consists of various female genital glands. It is made up of a double layer of peritoneum, which helps to attach the uterus to the pelvic. The broad ligament consists of fallopian tubes, ovaries, ovarian arteries, uterine arteries, ovarian ligaments and suspensory ligaments. The broad ligament also consists of blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics. The broad ligament shows attachment with the uterus and supports it to maintain the position in the pelvic cavity. The broad ligament along with other ligaments like round ligament helps to support the uterus and this type of support is called secondary support.

Note:
The formation of the Mullerian duct leads to the formation of the female reproductive duct. After the formation and fusion of two mullerian ducts, the broad ligaments form. Any injury or defect in a broad ligament leads to formation of hernia in the abdomen.
