This lies below the urogenital triangle and contains the structural elements of the female external genitalia, which, with their skin covering, exhibit the external appearance characteristic of the vulva. The clitoral bulbs lie in the superficial perineal pouch adjacent to the lateral wall of the vagina and are attached to the inferior surface of the urogenital diaphragm by the overlying bulbospongiosus muscle. Just behind the clitoral bulbs, also lying on the urogenital diaphragm, are Bartholin’s glands. The superficial transverse perineal muscles lie transversely across the base of the urogenital triangle at the posterior margin of the superficial perineal pouch (Figure 2.13).
