	Inguinal Region - Dissector Answers
		The gubernaculum ends up as a short ligament from ovary to uterus (ovarian ligament) and a longer ligament passing from the uterus through the inguinal canal, inguinal rings (round ligament of the uterus) to the labia majora.
		Indirect inguinal hernias start at deep inguinal ring, pass down inguinal canal, through superficial ring, and, in the male, usually descend into scrotum along with the spermatic cord.
		Keep in mind that the descent involves an evagination of the abdominal wall and that this is where the inguinal canal starts (deep ring), this is also how the spermatic cord gets its layers from the layers of the abdominal wall.

		The uterus was then delivered posteriorly, after which double clamps were placed across the right medial portion of the right broad ligament, ovarian ligament, middle portion of the fallopian tube, and another clamp was placed across the lower portion of the broad ligament, including the round ligament.
		The left uterosacral ligament was then suture ligated with a suture also being placed in the vaginal mucosa on its respective side in order to form a new fornix of the vagina.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 18, Ch. 241, Gynecologic Neoplasms
		Endometrial cancer may spread from the surface of the uterine cavity to the cervical canal; through the myometrium to the serosa and into the peritoneal cavity; via the lumen of the fallopian tube to the ovary, broad ligament, and peritoneal surfaces; via the bloodstream, leading to distant metastases; or via the lymphatics.
		Endometrial cancer is more common in women with conditions that tend to result in unopposed estrogen (high circulating levels of estrogen with no or low levels of progesterone), such as unopposed estrogen replacement therapy, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome, nulliparity, late menopause, estrogen-producing tumors, anovulation, or oligo-ovulation.
		Women with a history of pelvic radiation therapy or with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer are at increased risk.

		On the lateral pelvic wall behind the attachment of the broad ligament, in the angle between the elevations produced by the diverging hypogastric and external iliac vessels is a slight fossa, the ovarian fossa, in which the ovary normally lies.
		Below, there are two apertures on either side: one for the passage of the femoral vessels and lumboinguinal nerve, and the other for the transmission of the spermatic cord in the male, and the round ligament of the uterus in the female.
		Reaching the free margin of this fold, it is reflected upward to cover the under and posterior surfaces of the transverse colon, and thence to the posterior abdominal wall as the inferior layer of the transverse mesocolon.

	vas uterine fibroid info
		Possible explanations for treatment failure include incomplete embolization, extremely large uterine fibroids, the presence of a uterine cancer (leiomyosarcoma) or coexisting disorder such as adenomyosis, and the persistence of alternative sources of blood for the fibroids (such as the ovarian artery and the round ligament artery).
		Uterine fibroid tumors are extremely common, benign growths of the muscular wall of the uterus (smooth muscle); they are also known as myomas, leiomyomas, or leiomyomata.
		While the cause of fibroid development is not known, studies have suggested that estrogen contributes to their growth and development since they tend to develop during adolescence and regress after menopause.

		At an early period of fetal life, when the testes or ovaries lie by the side of the vertebral column, below the kidneys, the internal spermatic or ovarian arteries are short; but with the descent of these organs into the scrotum or lesser pelvis, the arteries are gradually lengthened.
		Other offsets are continued on the round ligament of the uterus, through the inguinal canal, to the integument of the labium majus and groin.
		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.

		The external iliac artery descends in the iliac fossa and passes posterior to the inguinal ligament to become the femoral artery.
		Vagal fibers enter the celiac and superior mesenteric plexuses and are distributed to the derivatives of the foregut and midgut: stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestine as far as the left colic flexure.

		pii], uterine tube: a long slender tube that extends from the upper lateral cornu of the uterus to the region of the ovary of the same side; it is attached to the broad ligament by the mesosalpinx, and consists of an ampulla, an infundibulum, an isthmus, two ostia, and a pars uterina.

		The encapsulation process is greatly facilitated by adhesion of greater omentum to the inflamed surface, bringing leukocytes and fibroblasts to an otherwise exposed surface.
		An infection (abscess) that results from puncture through the abdominal wall or through the gut wall would tend to spread throughout the abdomen unless it is encapsulated.

	Gene Information
		Two genes, encoding the INSL3 hormone and the GREAT/LGR8 G protein-coupled receptor, control the differentiation of gubernaculum, the caudal genitoinguinal ligament, critical for the testicular descent.
		Overexpression of the transgenic Insl3 causes male-like gubernaculum differentiation, ovarian descent into lower abdominal position, and reduced fertility in females.
		Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this gene may be involved in the development of urogenital tract and female fertility.
