located at posterior aspect of labia majora

(8 and 4)

homolog of the bulbourethral gland

urethral a.
aa. to mm. of deep perineal space
deep and dorsal artery of clitoris or penis

Question 22

superficial dorsal v. of penis

Answer 22

drain via ext pudendal to femoral v.

located b/w superficial and deep (Buck’s) fascia

Question 23

deep dorsal v. of penis

Answer 23

single large midline v. deep to deep fascia

drains to prostatic plexus and pudendal plexus

Question 24

Answer 24

from processus vaginialis
forms partial cover around the testes
