Free of ligament attachment
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'd' i.e., Free of ligament attachment OVARY The ovaries are female gonads. Each ovary lies in the ovarian fossa on the lateral pelvic wall which is bound anteriorly by obliterated umblical aery and posteriorly by ureter and internal iliac aery. Each ovary has two poles (upper and lower), two borders (anterior and posterior) and two surfaces (medial and lateral). Upper pole (tubal end) is related to ovarian fimbria of fallopian tube and external iliac aery. Suspensory ligament of ovary (infundibulopelvic ligament) connents it with pelvic brim. Lower pole (uterine end) is connected with lateral angle of uterus by ligament of the ovary, just posteroinferior to the attachment of fallopian tube. Lateral surface is related to ovarian fossa and is covered with peritoneum which separates it from Obturator vessels and nerve. Medial surface is related to fallopian tube and is separated by a peritoneal recess, called ovarian bursa. Anterior border (mesovarian border) is straight and related to fallopian tube and obliterated umblical aery. It is attached to posterior surface of broad ligament of uterus by mesovarium and forms the hilus of ovary. Posterior border (free border) is convex and is related to fallopian tube and ureter.
