  2. Transverse perineal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_perineal_muscles

    The deep transverse perineal muscle is innervated by the pudendal nerve. The function of the muscle is fixation of the perineal body (central tendon of perineum), support of the pelvic floor, expulsion of semen in males and last drops of urine in both sexes. [2] The deep transverse perineal muscle lies in the same plane as the urethral ...

    As might be expected, the contents of the urogenital triangle differ greatly between the male and the female. Some of the components include: [1] Posterior scrotal nerves / posterior labial nerves; Urethra; Vagina; Bulbourethral gland / Bartholin's gland; Muscles Superficial transverse perineal muscle; Ischiocavernosus muscle; Bulbospongiosus ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineum

    The perineal body (or central tendon of perineum) is a pyramidal fibromuscular mass in the middle line of the perineum at the junction between the urogenital triangle and the anal triangle. In males, it is found between the bulb of the penis and the anus ; in females, it is found between the vagina and anus, and about 1.25 cm (0.49 in) in front ...

    The perineal membrane has two distinct portions that span the opening of the anterior pelvic outlet. [2]The ventral (anterior) portion is associated with the compressor urethra and urethrovaginal sphincter muscles (previously called deep transverse perineal muscles), and is continuous with the insertion of the arcus tendineus fascia pelvis.

This grouping of muscles constricts to close the urogenital openings. The perineum supports and functions as a sphincter at the opening of the vagina. Other structures exist below the perineum that support the ...
