Bladder posterior point is located at which landmark?

In Chapman reflex mapping, the bladder’s posterior point is traditionally found at the transverse process of the second lumbar vertebra. This location corresponds to the bladder’s sympathetic innervation from L2, so the posterior bladder reflex point is classically at L2 TP on both sides. The superior pubic ramus is where the anterior bladder point lies, not the posterior point, and the other landmarks (the L3 transverse process or the PSIS) are not the bladder's posterior Chapman point.
