Anatomical terminology []

The urogenital triangle is the anterior part of the perineum. In female mammals, it contains the vagina and associated parts of the external genitalia.

The urogenital triangle is the area bound by a triangle with one vertex at the pubic symphysis and the two other vertices at the ischial tuberosities of the pelvic bone.

As might be expected, the contents of the urogenital triangle differ greatly between the male and the female. Some of the components include:

Articulations of pelvis. Anterior view.

The superficial branches of the internal pudendal artery.

The posterior aspect of the rectum exposed by removing the lower part of the sacrum and the coccyx.
