26
Q

perineal membrane

A

deep perineal pouch –> perineal membrane –> superificial perineal pouch

27
Q

superificial perineal pouch

A
  • between perineal membrane superiorly, and deep perineal fascia inferiorly
  • lies inferior to the perineal membrane

29
Q

superificial perineal pouch: females

A
