suspensory ligament
What is Within mesovarium and tethers ovary to uterus
Ovarian ligament
Thickening of broad ligament
Connects lateral margin of uterus to ovary
Through inguinal canal to labia majora
Round Ligament
Thin fibrous capsule surrounding the ovary
Covered by smooth layer of germinal epithelium
Tunica albuginea
Blood suppy and innerv of ovaries
Ovarian artery
Ovarian Vein
Aortic plexus, descends with the ovarian vessels
