    Fascice of the Perineum. The pelvic fascia at the brim of the pelvis is continuous with transverse and iliac fascia; covers sacrum and pyriformis muscle, external iliac artery, and sacral nerves. It forms the anterior and lateral ligament of bladder (true). It forms arcus tending or white line, corresponding to division of pelvic fascia into two layers, the obturator and recto-vesical, extending from pubis to spine of ischiurn, from which originates the levator ani muscle, with recto-vesical and ischio-rectal or anal fasciae above and below the muscle respectively. *«wy rf Corf*, f- FIG. no. Male perineum, deep dissection. (Lydston.) The obturator fascia, the continuation of the pelvic fascia, incloses the pudic vessels and nerve in a sheath, covers the in- ternal obturator muscle, and forms the posterior layer of the triangular ligament. Recto-vesical or visceral layer of the pelvic fascia, the con- tinuation of the pelvic fascia, descends into the pelvis investing the prostate gland and the vesico-prostatic plexus of veins, the bladder (forming the anterior and lateral true ligaments) and the rectum. It is perforated in the female by the vagina.
