Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the major support structures of the ovaries. These include the ovarian ligament, the suspensory ligament, and the mesovarium.
Understand the function of each structure: The ovarian ligament anchors the ovary to the uterus, the suspensory ligament contains blood vessels and nerves that supply the ovary, and the mesovarium is part of the broad ligament that supports the ovary.
Recognize that the round ligament is not involved in supporting the ovaries. It primarily supports the uterus by maintaining its position within the pelvis.
Compare the functions of the round ligament with those of the ovarian ligament, suspensory ligament, and mesovarium to confirm that the round ligament does not serve as a support structure for the ovaries.
Conclude that the round ligament is the correct answer as it is not one of the major support structures of the ovaries.
