The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum [2] that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus [3] while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. [4]
The ovarian ligament is composed of muscular and fibrous tissue; it extends from the uterine extremity of the ovary to the lateral aspect of the uterus, just below the point where the uterine tube and uterus meet. The ligament runs in the broad ligament of the uterus, which is a fold of peritoneum rather than a fibrous
The ovaries are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the ovary, which is a posterior extension of the broad ligament of the uterus. The part of the broad ligament of the uterus that covers the ovary is known as the mesovarium. [4] The ovarian pedicle is made up part of the fallopian ...
The uterus contains three suspensory ligaments that help stabilize the position of the uterus and limits its range of movement. The uterosacral ligaments keep the body from moving inferiorly and anteriorly. The round ligaments restrict posterior movement of the uterus. The cardinal ligaments also prevent the inferior movement of the uterus.
The contents of the broad ligament include the following: [3] Reproductive uterine tubes (or fallopian tube) ovary (some sources consider the ovary to be on the broad ligament, but not in it.) [4] vessels ovarian artery (in the suspensory ligament) [5] uterine artery (in reality, travels in the cardinal ligament) ligaments ovarian ligament
The gubernaculum has two vestigial remnants in females, the ovarian ligament and the round ligament of the uterus (ligamentum teres uteri) which respectively serve to support the ovaries and uterus in the pelvis. Development of the gubernaculum in female mice overexpressing INSL3 causes descended ovaries and reduced fertility. This ovarian ...
An experimental nasal spray has helped clear toxic protein buildups in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer's. Its developers believe the spray may help delay Alzheimer's by at least a decade.
