List and describe the three ligaments that support the ovary, and the structures to which they are attached

What will be an ideal response?


Each ovary is held in place by three ligaments: First is the broad ligament that attaches to the ovaries, uterine tubes, and uterus and connects them to the bony pelvis. Next is the ovarian ligament, which connects the medial surface of the ovary to the uterus, near the attachment of the uterine tube. Finally, the suspensory ligament (or infundibulopelvic ligament) connects the lateral surface of the ovary to the pelvic wall.
