Otherwise the featuresare about the same, the vas deferens of the male and the round ligament of thefemale causing similar folds. These structures run backward from the internal ringalong the wall of the pelvis, turn down to the side of the bladder, and boundexternally and posteriorly the paravesical fossa between the pelvic wall and the Fig 146Q.

A transverse fold of peritoneum, plicavesicalis transversa.^ passes laterally from the upper surface of the empty bladderand subdivides the paravesical fossa into an anterior and a posterior vas deferens, or round ligament, forms (the body being upright) the lower sideof the obturator triangle, which is completed in front by the external iliac vein andbehind by the ureter, which crosses the external iliac vein at the apex. The obtu-rator vessels and ner\e lie in the floor of this triangle. In the female it is crossedby the lateral attachment of the broad ligament of the uterus, behind which is th
