Lymphatic Drainage of Pelvic Viscera Testis/ ovaries → para-aortic lymph nodes Superior rectum and sigmoid colon → pararectal + inferior mesenteric lymph nodes Scrotum, perianal skin, anal canal inferior to the dentate line, skin of the perineum and round ligament → superficial inguinal lymph nodes Pouches of the Abdominal Viscera Formed by peritoneal coverings on the surface of viscera Females have 2 pouches whereas males only have 1 pouch ○ Rectovesical pouch (males) Most inferior part of the peritoneal cavity in males Between the rectum and bladder ○ Rectouterine pouch (females)/ Pouch of Douglas Most inferior part of the peritoneal cavity in females Between the rectum and uterus Fluid accumulates here in the erect position ○ Vesicouterine pouch (females) Between the bladder and uterus
