The ovarian fossa is a shallow depression on the lateral wall of the pelvis, where in the ovary lies. This ovarian fossa has the following boundaries: anteriorly : by the external iliac artery and vein; inferiorly : by the broad ligament of the uterus; posteriorly: by the ureter, internal iliac artery and vein
The ovarian surface epithelium, also called the germinal epithelium of Waldeyer, [1] or coelomic epithelium, is a layer of simple squamous-to-cuboidal epithelial cells covering the ovary. [ 2 ] The term germinal epithelium is a misnomer as it does not give rise to primary follicles.
Each ovary is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa. The ovarian fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. This area is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size. [3] [4]
The lesser pelvis (or "true pelvis") is the space enclosed by the pelvic girdle and below the pelvic brim: between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic floor. This cavity is a short, curved canal, deeper on its posterior than on its anterior wall. [1]
Waldeyer's fascia (a.k.a. rectosacral fascia) originates from the presacral parietal fascia at the S2 to S4 level fusing with the rectal visceral fascia at the posterior aspect of the rectum. Waldeyer's fascia divides the retrorectal space into a superior and inferior compartments.
In anatomy, a fossa (/ ˈ f ɒ s ə /; [1] [2] pl.: fossae (/ ˈ f ɒ s iː / or / ˈ f ɒ s aɪ /); from Latin 'ditch, trench') is a depression or hollow, usually in a bone, such as the hypophyseal fossa (the depression in the sphenoid bone). [3]
The medulla of ovary (or Zona vasculosa of Waldeyer) is a highly vascular stroma in the center of the ovary.It forms from embryonic mesenchyme and contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
