The ligaments of the female reproductive tract are a series of structures that support the internal female genitalia in the pelvis.

The ligaments of the female reproductive tract can be divided into three categories:

Broad ligament– a sheet of peritoneum, associated with both the uterus and ovaries.
Uterine ligaments– ligaments primarily associated with the uterus.
Ovarian ligaments– ligaments primary associated with the ovaries.

Collectively, these ligaments are tough and non-extensible. They act tosupportthe female viscera and provide aconduitfor neurovascular structures
