Supply to ovaries

arterial supply

direct branch from abdominal aorta

venous drainage

lymphatic drainage

para-aortic nodes

innervation

  • ovarian + pelvic plexuses transmitted within suspensory ligament
  • visceral afferent: travels with sympathetic fibres T10-11 (==> radiation to umbilicus)
  • parasympathetic supply: S2-4

Radiation of ovary pain to medial thigh is from irritation to obturator nerve
