What are the supporting ligaments?

A

Broad ligament

Ovarian ligaments

  • ovarian
  • suspensory

Uterine ligaments

  • round
  • cardinal
  • pubocervical
  • uterosacral
33
Q

What is the broad ligament?

A

Flat sheet of peritoneum that covers all the female reproductive system

34
Q

Where does the broad ligament lie?

A

Extends from lateral pelvic wall

Attaches to

  • uterus
  • ovaries
  • fallopian tubes
35
Q

What is the role of the ovarian ligament?

A

Connect ovary to uterus

36
Q

Where does the ovarian ligament lie?

A

Attaches inferiorly to ovary

Joins uterus just below fallopian tube

A

Contains all the ovarian vessels and nerves

38
Q

Where does the suspensory ligament lie?

A

Ovary -> lateral abdominal wall

39
Q

What is the role of the round ligament?

Anchors uterus

Maintains anteverted position in pregnancy

40
Q

Where does the round ligament lie?

A

Uterine horns - travels through inguinal canal - labia majora

41
Q

What is the role of the cardinal ligament?

A

Contains uterine vessels

42
Q

Where does the cardinal ligament lie?
