Most illustrations of ovaries don’t even include that lower connection to the uterus. I was wondering how the body doesn’t enter menopause in situations where the fallopian tubes are removed but the ovaries are left in. Now I know.
There’s the peritoneum which lines the abdominal cavity.
It’s got a bunch of blood vessels to exchange chemicals so it’s common to do kidney dialysis right into the abdominal cavity instead of the blood directly. Unlike hemodialysis, the machines can be taken home and operated by the patient.
And in vaginoplasties when they don’t have enough tissue to do just a penile inversion, they can now pull through the peritoneum to help construct the vaginal canal instead of doing a colon graft.
These were probably originally drawn from organs pulled out of cadavers and sketched or drawn while laid out on a table.
When we think of organs we think of them all separate like we see in books instead of the truth that they are all jammed together with no open space to see.

Most diagrams don’t include the mesentery, so people just think their intestines are sitting there like a pile of rope inside their torso.
Are there any other undocumented features of my abdominal cavity that I should be aware of
please report any undocumented features so that they may be deported out of your cavities

That’s crazy, I didn’t know that was a thing
