Anatomical terms of muscle [ edit on Wikidata ] The levatores costarum ( / ˌ l ɛ v ə ˈ t ɔːr iː z k ə ˈ s t ɛər ə m / ), twelve in number on either side, are small tendinous and fleshy bundles, which arise from the ends of the transverse processes of the seventh cervical and upper eleven thoracic vertebrae
The levator ani is a broad, thin muscle group, situated on either side of the pelvis. It is formed from three muscle components: the pubococcygeus, the iliococcygeus, and the puborectalis. [3] It is attached to the inner surface of each side of the lesser pelvis, and these unite to form the greater part of the pelvic floor.
The levator scapulae is a slender [1]: 910 skeletal muscle situated at the back and side of the neck. It originates from the transverse processes of the four uppermost cervical vertebrae; it inserts onto the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula.
The levator palpebrae superioris receives motor innervation from the superior division of the oculomotor nerve. [1] [2] [3] The smooth muscle that originates from its undersurface, called the superior tarsal muscle is innervated by postganglionic sympathetic axons from the superior cervical ganglion.

The pelvic floor includes muscles, both skeletal and smooth, ligaments and fascia. [3] and separates between the pelvic cavity from above, and the perineum from below. [citation needed] It is formed by the levator ani muscle and coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue. [4]
