Organs of the inter-abdominal cavity - continued

Step 19:  Start with the female pelvis.
Step 20:  In this case we have removed the small and large bowel because the uterus sits below the pelvic inlet and posterior to the bowel.
Step 21:  Add the ovaries. The ovaries and their suspensory ligaments also sit posterior to the bowel and below the pelvic inlet.
Step 22:  Adding the bowel back to the female pelvis shows how these organs cover the female reproductive organs.
