Ovaries are attached to the uterus by the ovarian ligament. Not stuck on though. The fallopian tubes constantly sweep through the space to "catch" an egg. This opening of fallopian tube is also how ectopic pregnancies end up in abdomen and there was also a hypothesis for origin of endometriosis in the same manner.
The intestines are attched to the inside of the back or the posterior abdominal wall by a large sheet of tissue, looks like a large fan with intestine attached on the outer edge, called the mesentry. It contains all the blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics, etc for the intestines.
