11
What is the broad ligament?
A fold of peritoneum that extends from the sides of the uterus to the lateral walls of the pelvis
- Surrounds the uterine tubes

Prepuce
20
What is the name for the space b/w the labia majora?
Vestibule

Clitoral glans and clitoral prepuce
22
What is the area of the pubic region called?
Mons pubis
23
What are the layers of the UG diaphragm, from inf to sup?
1. Inferior fascia of the UG diaphragm, AKA perineal membrane
2. UG diaphragm proper, AKA the deep pouch
3. Superior fascia of the UG diaphragm
24
Generally, what would you find below the inferior fascia of the UG diaphragm?
What is this zone called?
- Erectile tissue (both sexes)
- Superficial pouch
25
In the penis, where does the urethra run?
Through the corpus spongiosum
26
What type of tissue is the clitoris made up of?
Corpus cavernosum only
27
What area comes just before the eternal urethra orifice of the penis?
Navicular fossa of the urethra
28
What does erectile tissue consist of?
