Folds of peritoneum anchor and support the uterus in the pelvic cavity. Laterally the peritoneum extends from the anterior and posterior uterine surfaces to the lateral pelvic wall. This peritoneal extension is the broad ligament, which not only supports the uterus but also encloses the uterine tubes.
