To investigate and compare the fibro-muscular architecture of the urogenital triangle between males and females.
Analyzed serial sections from three male individuals aged 21-38 years from the American and Chinese Visible Human Projects, and two male fetuses.
Compared findings with established observations from female anatomy.
Developed interactive 3D pdf files for enhanced anatomical interpretation.
The mass of the levator ani muscle was approximately twofold smaller in males than in females.
The perineal body in males remained small and bipartite, unlike the well-developed perineal body in females.
The urethral rhabdosphincter in males featured a circular membranous portion with distinct anatomical variations.
