Anatom3DCardinal ligaments
Ligamentum cardinale (transversum cervicis) · Kardinální vazy
Fascia & connective tissue · female only
Looks like
The thick base of the broad ligament, running from the cervix and vault out to the pelvic wall.
What it does
The main sideways support of the womb, and the road the uterine artery travels.
Keeping it well
Pelvic-floor exercises and no chronic straining; torn in childbirth, it lets the womb come down years later.
