Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Typically, they lie on the peritoneum of the pelvic wall in a shallow fossa in the angle between the internal and external iliac vessels on the obturator nerve but have variable location secondary to their mobility. They are orientated with their long axis oblique, with lateral and medial surfaces, uterine and tubal ends, and mesovarian and free borders."

Inline EG

suggestion
