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 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 ovaries lie within the peritoneal cavity, on either side of the uterus, to which they are attached via a fibrous cord called the ovarian ligament. 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 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 mesovarium is the portion of the broad ligament of the uterus that suspends the ovaries. The ovary is not covered by the mesovarium; rather, it is covered by germinal epithelium. The ovary is not covered by the mesovarium; rather, it is covered by germinal epithelium.

The ovarian arteries are paired structures that arise from the abdominal aorta, usually at the level of L2. After emerging from the aorta, the artery travels within the suspensory ligament of the ovary and enters the mesovarium. The ovarian arteries are the corresponding arteries in the female to the testicular artery in the male.
The sensitivity and specificity of abnormal ovarian flow are 44% and 92%, respectively, with a positive and negative predictive value of 78% and 71%, respectively. [7] Specific flow features on Doppler sonography include: [8] Little or no intra-ovarian venous flow. This is commonly seen in ovarian torsion. Absent arterial flow.
