. Fig. 226.—Genito-urinary organs in the male (pelvic cavity exposed). Cj), Peritoneal cavity (posterior cul-de-sac); Vs, vesicula seminalis; R, rectum ; U, ureter; I^j, line of insertion of the peritoneum ; Cd, vas deferens; V, bladder; Kgt, testicular artery ; Ci, inguinal canal ; P, penis; Cv, neck of the bladder; Ic, accelerator lU'inae muscle ; Gc, prostate gland. In the abdominal cavity the rectum, or rather the floating colon, turns to the right, in such a way that, in spite of the shortness of the meso-rectum and meso-colon, the hand can be passed as far as the right kidney. It is, then, easy to discover whether this organ is sensitive to pressure, hypertrophied, atrophied, cystic, etc. The paunch interferes with examination on the left side.
