Can we exploit understanding of the molecular organisation of elastic fibres to engineer robust replacement elastic tissues such as small-diameter arteries and ligaments?
Posteriorly, the pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet are bounded by the sacral promontory and the ischiotuberous ligaments, respectively.
If it occurs over the cervix, it frequently dissects the broad ligament, and it then extends over the retroperitoneum.
The principal feature in the roll-up of the ligament is that the only stable configuration is that of a sphere.
What seems to be a shared derived character, in this case a distinctive ligament pattern, may not be one.
Haemorrhage after puerperal hysterectomy may also originate from the infundibularpelvic ligament.
The results indicate that the contraction rate for each ligament is a constant.
It is found that the size of the ligament increases with decreasing wave-number.
