In anatomy, adnexa refers to the appendages of an organ. The term adnexa stems from a Latin word meaning appendages.

More specifically, it can refer to:

  • Adnexa of eye
  • Adnexa of uterus
  • Adnexa of skin

For instance, the adnexa of uterus (or uterine appendages) refers to the structures most closely related structurally and functionally to the uterus such as the ligaments, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
