The uterine vein is found in the cardinal ligament of the uterus. It travels through the broad ligament of the uterus to the lateral abdominal wall. [1] It drains into the internal iliac vein. [1] [2] The uterine vein forms a venous plexus around the cervix. [2] It follows a similar course to the uterine artery. [3] Lymphatic vessels are ...
The uterine plexuses lie along the sides and superior angles of the uterus between the two layers of the broad ligament, and communicate with the ovarian and vaginal plexuses. They are drained by a pair of uterine veins on either side: these arise from the lower part of the plexuses, opposite the external orifice of the uterus, and open into ...
The arcuate vessels of the uterus are a component of the blood supply of the uterus. They are arteries and veins that branch from the uterine arteries and veins, respectively, with additional anastomoses from the ovarian arteries and veins, [ 2 ] and penetrate and assume a circumferential course in the myometrium .
The uterine artery usually arises from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery. It travels to the uterus, crossing the ureter anteriorly, to the uterus by traveling in the cardinal ligament. [1] Uterine artery. It travels through the parametrium of the inferior broad ligament of the uterus.
The uterus or womb is the major female reproductive organ. The uterus provides mechanical protection, nutritional support, and waste removal for the developing embryo (weeks 1 to 8) and fetus (from week 9 until the delivery). In addition, contractions in the muscular wall of the uterus are important in pushing out the fetus at the time of birth.

The cardinal ligament (also transverse cervical ligament, lateral cervical ligament, [1] or Mackenrodt's ligament [2] [1]) is a major ligament of the uterus formed as a thickening of connective tissue of the base of the broad ligament of the uterus. It extends laterally (on either side) from the cervix and vaginal fornix to attach onto the ...
Blood is supplied to the cervix by the descending branch of the uterine artery [9] and drains into the uterine vein. [10] The pelvic splanchnic nerves, emerging as S2–S3, transmit the sensation of pain from the cervix to the brain. [5] These nerves travel along the uterosacral ligaments, which pass from the uterus to the anterior sacrum. [9]
