mesovarium in dogs

The mesentery that suspends the ovary from the dorsal wall of the coelom[VHOG]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the mesovarium is

The mesentery that suspends the ovary from the dorsal wall of the coelom[VHOG]. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the mesovarium is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the mesovarium connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of ovary and reproductive system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the mesovarium. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as mesovarian ligament. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the mesovarium?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the mesovarium connect to?

Part of: ovary and reproductive system.

Is the mesovarium the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
