 the mesotubarium and to the infundibular muscle. The infundibular mus-

 and the ovarian capsule, and also with the ovary itself. Each uterine horn 

 is attached to the dorsal wall by the mesometrium (broad ligament) which 

 contains varying amounts of fat. Near the uterine horn the mesometrium 

 contains longitudinal, smooth muscle fibers which are continuous with the
