Q

Explain the course of the peritoneum in males. (9)

A

-Descends at the ant abd wall.
-Reflects over the sup surface of bladder (supravesical fossa)
-Covers the sup surface of bladder and slopes down to asc at the pelvic wall (paravesical fossa).
-Descends at post surface of bladder.
-Lat form ureteric folds over the ureters, duc def and sup ends of seminal glands.
-Reflects from bladder onto rectum forming a rectovesicle pouch.
-The rectovesicle pouch extends lat and post to form a pararectal fossa.
-Ascends rectum (inf to sup)
