Border of uterus
Margo uteri
Definition
The borders of uterus (lateral margins; margo lateralis) are slightly convex. At the upper end of each (the uterine horns) the uterine tube pierces the uterine wall. Below and in front of this point the round ligament of the uterus is fixed, while behind it is the attachment of the ligament of the ovary. These three structures lie within a fold of peritoneum which is reflected from the margin of the uterus to the wall of the pelvis, and is named the broad ligament.
