22. Female – Medial View

23. Levator Ani
Consists of three parts – the pubococcygeus, the puborectalis and the iliococcygeus.
Collectively they run from the body of the pubis, the tendinous arch of the obturator fascia and the ischial spine TO the perineal body, the coccyx, the anococcygeal ligament, the walls of the prostate or vagina, the rectum and the anal canal
Innervated by the nerve to levator ani from S4 and the inferior anal (rectal) nerve (from S2-S4) and the coccygeal plexus
Help to support the pelvic viscera; acting together they raise the pelvic floor and assist the abdominal muscles in forced expiration activities

24. Perineal Body

25. Coccygeus Muscle
O: ischial spine, I: inferior end of the sacrum, I: branches of S4 and S5
Forms a small part of the pelvic diaphragm that supports the pelvic viscera, flexes the coccyx

26. Viscera Urinary organs in the pelvis
Ureters – muscular (smooth) tubes running from kidneys to bladder 25 to 30 cm long
Bladder – a hollow container surrounded by a strong smooth muscular wall
Temporary reservoir for urine
Apex, Body, Fundus, Neck, Uvula

Innervated by sympathetic (T12/L1)and parasympathetic nerves (S2-S4)

41. Rectum

42. Rectum and Anal Canal

43. Perineum
Lies inferior to the pelvic outlet and is separated from the pelvic cavity by the pelvic diaphragm (Levator ani and coccygeus muscles)
Bounded by Pubic symphysis anteriorly; inferior pubic rami and ischial rami anterolaterally; ischial tuberosity laterally; sacrotuberous ligament posterolaterally; inferiorly by sacrum and coccyx

44. Perineum Two Triangles
Anal triangle (posterior) contains the anus
Urogenital triangle (anterior) contains the root of the scrotum and penis in males or the external genitalia in females
The perineal membrane stretches between the two sides of the pubic arch and covers the anterior part of the outlet
The perineal body is an irregular fibromuscular mass located between the anal canal and the perineal membrane
