What is the mesovarium ligament?
What is the mesovarium 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.
What is the difference between mesosalpinx and mesovarium?
The mesosalpinx encloses and suspends the uterine tube within the pelvic cavity. In addition, it encloses anastomoses between the uterine and ovarian vessels. The mesovarium is the posterior extension of the broad ligament, containing the ovary.
Is mesosalpinx a ligament?
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.
What is the role of the mesovarium?
[1][2][3] The broad ligament is divided into the mesometrium (the largest portion), the mesosalpinx (mesentery of the uterine [fallopian] tubes), and the mesovarium (connects the ovaries to the broad ligament). The broad ligament contains the following structures: Fallopian tubes. Ovaries.
What is the mesosalpinx?
Serous layer of the Fallopian tube, also known as mesosalpinx (Fig. 2A), is the outer tissue layer that wraps around the Fallopian tube and is part of the peritoneal cavity lining. Mesosalpinx is composed of epithelial cells of mesothelium and a mesh of serous membrane lining (interstitial connective tissue).
Where is the mesosalpinx?

What does the mesosalpinx suspend?
The ovary is suspended from the pelvic side wall by the suspensory ligament of the ovary and from the uterus by the proper ovarian ligament. These ligaments separate the mesosalpinx above from the broad ligament below.
What is the other name of suspensory ligament?
