A section through the glans penis, urethral plate and L-1 and L-2 spinal ganglia.

Observe:
1. The corpus spongiosum on each side of the urethral plate.
2. The retropubic space between the pubic symphysis and bladder.
3. The ureter in two locations, one dorsal to the mesonephric duct, the other at its junction with the bladder lining.
4. The femoral nerve between the psoas major and iliacus muscles.
5. The junction of the common iliac veins forming the inferior vena cava.
