* The ovary is attached to the [[The_Uterus_-_The_Broad_Ligament_- Anatomy & Physiology|broad ligament]] by a well-defined strong ligament which extends from the hilus of the ovary to the tip of the corresponding uterine horn.

* Both ovaries are enclosed within a fold of the [[The_Uterus_-_The_Broad_Ligament_- Anatomy & Physiology#Structure|mesosalpinx]] known as the ovarian bursa, the apex of this bursa forms a large circular orifice within which lies the fimbriae of the oviduct.
