Answer 1

The uterus is attached to the pelvic wall by the broad ligament, round ligament, and uterosacral ligament.

Step-by-step explanation:

The uterus is attached to the pelvic wall by several ligaments. The broad ligament is a fold of peritoneum that supports the uterus and extends laterally from both sides of the uterus. The round ligament attaches to the uterus near the uterine tubes, while the uterosacral ligament stabilizes the uterus posteriorly by connecting the cervix to the pelvic wall.
