Unfortunately, many of the animals we get are not very old and the female reproductive tract is not very large.
A and B are mesenteric "ligaments" - The suspensory ligament of the ovary (A) is the cranial free edge of the broad ligament that "suspends" the ovary from the last one or two ribs; and the proper ligament of the ovary (B) is the caudal extension of A, which attaches the ovary to the cranial end of the uterine horn..The proper ligament of the ovary is continuous with the round ligament of the uterus. The pin is located within the ovarian bursa, adjacent to the ovary (C); The uterine tube will primarily be on the lateral aspect of the ovary (ie, other side); D. Uterine horn; E. Uterine body; In this specimen, during preparation, there appears to have been a rupture of the ovarian artery (F), which is in the mesovarian; G. Mesometrium. What three structures make up the broad ligament?
