Female reproductive system
1. Uterus
▪ Peritoneal attachments
1. Anterior ligament or uterovesical fold
2. Posterior ligament or rectovaginal fold
3. Two broad ligaments
Mesovarium-ovary to posterior layer
Mesosalpinx - part between ovarian ligament & uterine tube
Mesometrium- part below ovarian ligament
4. Suspensory ligament of ovary
▪Supports of the uterus
1. Broad ligament
Primary Secondary 2. Uterovesical fold
3. Rectovaginal fold
Fibromuscular Muscular
1. Uterine axis 1. Pelvic diaphragm
2. Pubocervical ligament 2. Perineal body
Cervix to pubis 3. Distal urethral sphincter
3. Round ligament of uterus mechanism
4. Transverse cervical ligament
Cervix to lateral
pelvic wall
1
, angle of anteversion Is kept by round ligament & uterosacral ligament
sphincter vaginae of pubococcygeus is partially inserted into perineal body
so it supports as well as forms a sphincter.
Structure
Muscular organ responsible for the protection & nourishment of fertilized ovum so
that it can develop into a full-term fetus.
Pear shaped
Possess 3 parts
o Fundus o Body o Cervix
FUNDUS
convex upper end of uterus
Above the entrance of uterine tubes
Covered by peritoneum
