A section through the bulb and crura of the penis and L-2 spinal ganglion.

Observe:
1. The proximal part of the urethra where the prostate will later develop.
2. The mesonephric ducts in the fused broad folds.
3. The caudal edge of the ureter.
4. The junction of the colon in Section 32 with the rectum.
5. The internal iliac vessels lateral to the pelvic viscera.
