Unit Review

Here is what we have learned from this unit:

• Ovary is a paired organ.
• Bilateral involvement of ovaries with the same histology is considered a single primary site.
• The ovaries lie on the posterior wall of the pelvis lateral to the uterus.
• The ovaries are supported by the suspensory ligaments, the ovarian ligament, and the broad ligament, which also supports all of the internal female genitalia.
• The ovary is a gland with a detached duct (the fallopian tube), which "catches" the ovum as it is expelled from the ovary.
• The fallopian tubes are a pair of slender ducts through which ova pass from the ovaries to the uterus in the female reproductive system.
• Regional lymph nodes for the ovaries include:
  • utero-ovarian,
  • round ligament,
  • external iliac,
  • common iliac,
  • hypogastric,
  • internal iliac,
  • obturator,
  • lateral sacral,
  • paraaortic, and
  • inguinal.
