![FIRST AND SECOND STAGES OF THE DISSECTION. ] .'} The central point of the perineum is seen between the bulb and anus, where the four muscles unite in a crucial form. All these are superficial to the triangular ligament, or deep fascia, of the perineum. The next stage of the dissection removes these muscles, and exposes the corpus spongiosum and the corpora caver- nosa of the penis : the deep perineal fascia is seen in the intervals. Here (as represented at fig. 3) it is left un- touched on the right side of the subject, while it is removed, together with the compressor urethrse muscle, on the left, to show the course of the pudic artery, and its branch the artery to the bulb, which lie beneath it, the latter perforating the fascia. The left corpus cavernosum is also divided to show the arteries more clearly. The Fig. 3.
