This section passes through the corpora cavernosa penis (59), the crura of
the penis (3, 54), the membranous urethra (53), and the anus (27). The lesser
trochanter of the femur (18) and the ischiorectal fossa (26) are seen in this
cut.
The deep artery of the penis (58) and the dorsal veins of the penis (1) are
identified.
The psoas major muscle (16, 44) inserts onto the lesser trochanter (18, 35),
and the tendon of origin of semitendinosus and biceps femoris (long head) (34)
is identified on the left ischial tuberosity (33).
