The posterior point for Ovary/Testis corresponds to which anatomical landmark?

Chapman points on the back are organized so that the posterior point for each visceral organ corresponds to that organ itself. For the gonads, the posterior reflection maps to the gonadal organ—the ovaries in females or testes in males. So the landmark that matches the posterior point is the Ovary/Testis. The uterus, fallopian tubes/seminal vesicles, or vagina are not the posterior points for the gonads.
