Everything about Ovarian Artery totally explained
In
human anatomy, the
ovarian artery is a
blood vessel that supplies
oxygenated blood to the
ovary. It arises from the
abdominal aortic artery below the
renal artery, and doesn't pass out of the
abdominal cavity. It can be found in the
suspensory ligament of the ovary.
Relationship to internal spermatic
It only exists in
females. The ovarian arteries are the corresponding arteries in the
female to the
testicular artery in the
male. They are shorter than the internal spermatics.
The origin and course of the first part of each artery are the same as those of the internal spermatic, but on arriving at the upper opening of the
lesser pelvis the ovarian artery passes inward, between the two layers of the
ovariopelvic ligament and of the
broad ligament of the uterus, to be distributed to the ovary.
Branches
Small branches are given to the
ureter and the
uterine tube, and one passes on to the side of the
uterus, and unites with the
uterine artery.
Other offsets are continued on the
round ligament of the uterus, through the
inguinal canal, to the integument of the
labium majus and
groin.
It commonly
anastomoses (connects with) the
uterine artery.
