Anatomy. 1362 THE URINOGENriAL ORGANS The two anterior true ligaments or puboprostatic ligaments (ligamenta pubo' prostaiica) extend from the back of the ossa pubis, one on each side of the sym- physis, to the front of the neck of the bladder, over the anterior surface of the prostate gland. The two lateral true ligaments, formed by expansions from the fascia lining the lateral wall of the pelvis, are broader and thinner than the preceding. They are attached to the lateral parts of the prostate gland and to the sides of the base of the bladder. The urachus or middle umbilical ligament is the fibromuscular cord already men- tioned, extending between the summit of the bladder and the umbilicus. The two posterior false ligaments pass forward, in the male, from the sides of the rectum (plicae rectovesicales); in the female, from the sides of the uterus {plicae vesicouterinae), to the posterior and lateral aspect of the bladder; they form in the male the lateral boundaries of the rectovesical pouch (excavatio rectovesicalis (Figs. 337 and 1067); in the female the peritoneum is reflected from the rectum to tlie upper part of the posterior vaginal wall, forming the rectovaginal pouch.

It is continued over the posterior surface and fundus of the uterus on to its anterior surface and then to the bladder, forming here a second but shallower pouch, the uterovesical pouch, bounded on either side by the uterovesical or posterior false ligaments of the bladder. The poste- rior false ligaments contain the impervious hypogastric arteries and the ureters, together with vessels and nerves. In the base of each fold is smooth muscle fibre, the Rectovesical muscle (m. rectovesicalis). The t
