Female perineum
Superficial perineal space (continued).
The bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus muscles have been removed on the left side of the specimen. The left bulb of the vestibule has been slightly retracted from its position against the wall of the vestibule. Several small, aberrant bundles of muscle (18) pass across the superficial perineal space in close apposition to the inferior surface of the perineal membrane.
