Answer 1

The three types of ligaments associated with the ovaries are the c. broad ligament, round ligament, and ovarian ligament. The broad ligament supports the uterus, the round ligament attaches to the uterus near the uterine tubes, and the ovarian ligament attaches the ovary to the uterus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three types of ligaments associated with the ovaries are the c. broad ligament, the round ligament, and the ovarian ligament.

The broad ligament serves as a primary support for the uterus, extending laterally from both sides of the uterus and attaching it to the pelvic wall.

The round ligament attaches to the uterus near the uterine tubes and extends to the labia majora.

The ovarian ligament attaches the ovary to the uterus.
