picture

I don't see a suspensory ligament of the ovary in the picture.....the ligament of the ovary is different from the suspesory ligament!!! The suspensory ligament of the ovary goes from the ovary laterally to the pelvic wall. --Shigaon

The ligament is there, but only partially. I edited the caption to explain; Gray's explains {ref}:

The tubal extremity is near the external iliac vein; to it are attached the ovarian fimbria of the uterine tube and a fold of peritoneum, the suspensory ligament of the ovary, which is directed upward over the iliac vessels and contains the ovarian vessels. [emphasis added]

what is the function of the suspensory ligaments —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.105.105 (talk) 10:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

"The suspensory ligament of the ovary, ...is a fold of 'peritoneum[2]' that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis." --> The use of the term 'peritoneum' here is confounding. the peritoneum is associated with the anterior and posterior body walls of the abdominal compartment. in the pelvic region, a tissue that is continuous with the peritoneum covers the reproductive organs of the female. This tissue is called the BROAD LIGAMENT. the 'peritoneum' and the 'broad ligament' are regional terms of notation with respect to a single, continuous tissue. (a state line is merely a regional term of notation; one can strattle a boarder such that one foot is in each state, but the land is continuous. like-wise, a 'micro-person' could state in the abdominal cavity such that on foot is on the BROAD ligament and the other is on the PERITONEUM while the tissue is continuous).

i submit the follow for review...."the suspensory ligament of the ovary is one continuous tissue that connects the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. The continuous tissue that comprises the suspensory ligament is referred to as two different names depending on region. In the anterior region, the suspensory ligament is attached to the wall of the pelvis via a continuous tissue called peritoneum. In the more region posterior, the suspersory ligament is attached to the ovary via a continuous tissue call the broad ligament. In sum, the supernsory ligament is comprised of a single connective tissue from that has different regional notations, the peritoneum and the broad ligament."

Intraperitoneal Organs

In the section "peritoneal relationship," this article mistakenly characterizes the intraperitoneal organs as lying within the peritoneal cavity (i.e. the lumen between the two layers of visceral and parietal peritoneum). This is not correct. Intraperitoneal organs are those which are completely enveloped by a double layer of visceral and parietal peritoneum. The peritoneal cavity is a potential space filled with serous fluid which lies between these two peritoneal layers. Intraperitoneal organs are thus not, in fact, located within the peritoneal cavity.
