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.
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]
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.
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]
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
It is also called the germinal epithelium of Waldeyer or sometimes the superficial epithelial cells in embryology. It is often encountered in the medical setting as an important source of various types of ovarian cancer , primary peritoneal serous cancer and endometriosis (coelomic metaplasia).
The vesicouterine pouch is a fold of peritoneum over the uterus and the bladder, forming a pelvic recess. [1] It is continued over the intestinal surface and body of the uterus onto its vesical surface, which it covers as far as the junction of the body and cervix uteri, and then to the bladder.
