Mesovarium is a part of the broad ligament over which the ovary is suspended

19
Q

In which part of the broad ligament is the mesentery of the uterine tube found?

A

Mesosalpinx is part of the broad ligament that forms the mesentery of the uterine tube

20
Q

In which part of the broad ligament is the mesentery for the uterus found?

A

Mesometrium is a part of the broad ligament that forms the mesentery for the uterus

21
Q

Which arteries drain the uterus?

A

Ovarian arteries

  • From the abdominal aorta
  • Descend along the posterior abdominal wall
  • At pelvic brim they cross over the external iliac vessels and enter the suspensory ligaments

Ovarian arteries to the branch of through mesovarium to ovary OR to the branch to the uterine tube

22
Q

Which vein drain the uterine venous plexus and into which vein do the drain into?

A

23
Q

Which parts of the uterus drain into which lymph nodes?

A
  • Superior – lumbar/aortic lymph nodes
  • Middle – external iliac lymph nodes
  • Inferior – internal iliac lymph nodes
24
Q

Describe the innervation of the inferior vagina.

A

Inferior vagina

  • Somatic innervation
  • Deep perineal nerve (branch of the pudendal nerve)
25
Q

Describe the innervation of the rest of the vagina and uterus.

A

Rest of vagina and uterus

  • Visceral nerve plexus
  • Uterovaginal nerve plexus – travels with the uterine artery
26
Q

Describe the sympathetic innervations of the superior vagina and uterus.

A

Originates in the inferior thoracic spinal cord segments and passes through lumbar splanchnic nerves and the intermesenteric-hypogastric-pelvic series of plexuses

27
Q

Describe the parasympathetic innervations of the vagina and uterus.

A

Originates in S2-S4 spinal cord segments and passes through the pelvic sphlanchnic nerves to the inferior hypogastric-uterovaginal plexus

28

Q

What is the posterosuperior aspect of the broad ligament?

A

Mesovarium

Q

Which ligament conveys the ovarian vessels, lymphatics and nerves?

A

Suspensory ligament of the ovary

37
Q

Which ligament attaches the ovary to the uterus?
