What is the anterolateral border of the urogenital triangle?

• A. Pubic symphysis
• B. Ischiopubic ramus
• C. Ischiopubic rami
• D. Iliac crest

Answer: (C)

The boundary you’re looking for is formed by the ischiopubic rami on each side. In the perineum, the urogenital triangle is bounded anteriorly by the pubic symphysis and laterally by the ischiopubic rami; the posterior edge is a line between the ischial tuberosities. The iliac crest is not part of this boundary. Because this border exists on both sides, the plural term ischiopubic rami is used.
