High-Yield Explanation
Ligaments suppoing the uterus consist of the uterosacral ligaments, the transverse ligaments of the cervix (cardinal ligaments, cardinal suppos, ligamentum transversum colli, ligaments of Mackenrodt), the round ligaments, and the broad ligaments. There are 2 pairs of ligaments continuous with the parametrium and with the wall of the cervix: the uterosacral ligaments and the transverse (cardinal) ligament of the neck, the latter of which is the chief means of suppo and suspends the uterus from the lateral walls of the pelvis minor.
