This relation of the tube to the ovaryaccounts for the singular shape of a dropsical tube, which curvesoutside and a little below the ovary, and also for the positionof the foetal sac in cases of gestation in the outer part of theFallopian tube, the sac lying not above the ovary, but outside,and often partly below it. As the uterus always leans a little to one side, the ovaryon that side hangs downwards more than its fellow, which isheld almost horizontally between the ovarian and the infundi-bulo-pelvic ligaments. The ovary is connected with the back of the broad ligamentby its dense and tough hilum, which is invested by a plexus of Uterus Fallopian Tube. Uterine Vein Ureter -Vaginal Art.

As the tissue of the hilum is con-tinuous with the connective tissue between the folds of thebroad ligament, morbid growths, developed in its substance,tend to burrow into these folds. The parenchyma, or ovum-bearing part of the ovary, hangs behind the broad is connected with the uterus by a prolongation of the musculartissue of the latter called the ovarian ligament, and invested byan elevation of the peritoneum. This ligament is an important landmark when the surgeonis engaged in exploring the appendages during an operation ; itis much stretched in cystic disease of the ovary, and generallyhypertrophied in fibroid disease of the uterus.
