Ovarian ligaments are primarily associated with ovaries and they attach the ovaries to the uterus.

Uterine ligaments are primarily associated with the uterus and they hold the uterus in position inside the pelvic cavity.

Broad ligament is associated with both the ovaries and the uterus. They attach to the ovaries with the help of a mesovarium.

Suspensory ligaments attach the ovaries to the pelvic wall.
