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 mesometrium is the mesentery of the uterus. It constitutes the majority of the broad ligament of the uterus, [1] excluding only the portions adjacent to the uterine tube (the mesosalpinx) and ovary (the mesovarium). It is adjacent to the mesosalpinx. The ureter is among the structures found in the mesometrium.
The mesosalpinx is part of the lining of the abdominal cavity in higher vertebrates, specifically the portion of the broad ligament that stretches from the ovary to the level of the fallopian tube. See also
Function [ edit ] The uterosacral ligaments pull the cervix posterior-ward, counteracting the anterior-ward pull exerted by the round ligament of uterus upon the fundus of the uterus , thus maintaining anteversion of the body of the uterus .

The term "adnexitis" is sometimes used to describe an inflammation of the uterine appendages (adnexa). [5] In this context, it replaces the terms oophoritis and salpingitis. The term adnexal mass is sometimes used when the location of a uterine mass is not yet more precisely known. 63% of ectopic pregnancies present with an adnexal mass ...
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.
The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum [1] that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus [2] while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. [3]
