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.

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.
