Answer:

Broad ligament.

The broad ligament is defined as the flat sheets of the peritoneum which is associated with the ovaries, uterine tubes, and uterus to the bony pelvis. It folds the internal female genitalia, by covering their surface on both sides anterior, and posterior they also extend from both sides of lateral pelvic walls.

Broad ligament divided into three regions:

1) Mesometrium: It is known as the largest subsection and surrounds the uterus. It also surrounds the round ligaments of the uterus which is known as the proximal part.

2) Mesovarium: It is the part of the broad ligament which is associated with the ovaries.

3) Mesosalpinx: It originates above to the mesovarium, and surrounds the fallopian tubes.
