Anatomical terminology

The vesical venous plexus is a venous plexus situated at the fundus of the urinary bladder. It collects venous blood from the urinary bladder in both sexes, from the accessory sex glands in males, and from the corpora cavernosa of clitoris in females (via the v. dorsalis profunda clitoridis).[1] It drains into the internal iliac veins via several vesical veins.[citation needed]

Structure

The vesical venous plexus envelops the inferior part of the bladder and the base of the prostate.[citation needed]

Anastomoses

It communicates with the pudendal and prostatic plexuses.[citation needed]
