pelvic diaphragm

In combination with the coccygeus muscle, it forms the pelvic diaphragm.

The perineum is the region of the body inferior to the pelvic diaphragm and between the legs.

The deep pouch is now described as the region between the perineal membrane and pelvic diaphragm.

The pelvic diaphragm is composed of the levator ani and the coccygeus muscle.

Kegel exercises are employed to strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle and other muscles of the pelvic diaphragm.

The uterus is primarily supported by the pelvic diaphragm, perineal body and the urogenital diaphragm.

The pelvic organs are kept in place by the muscles and connective tissues of the pelvis (pelvic diaphragm).

The region of the perineum can be considered a distinct area from pelvic cavity, with the two regions separated by the pelvic diaphragm.

Pelvis and Perineum - the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm.

It is bounded laterally by obturator internus muscle, medially by pelvic diaphragm and anal canal.

Dogs with benign prostatic hyperplasia have been found to have increased relaxin levels and suspected subsequent weakening of the pelvic diaphragm.

The layer covering the upper surface of the pelvic diaphragm follows, above, the line of origin of the levator ani and is therefore somewhat variable.

This contraction of expiratory chest muscles, diaphragm, abdominal wall muscles, and pelvic diaphragm exert pressure on the digestive tract.

Associated are the urethral sponge, perineal sponge, a network of nerves and blood vessels, suspensory ligaments, muscles and pelvic diaphragm.

It is now shown that the components of levator ani (the pelvic diaphragm), namely pubococcygeus, puborectalis and ileococcygeus, contract and relax as one muscle.

The ischioanal fossa (formerly called ischiorectal fossa) is the fat-filled space located lateral to the anal canal and inferior to the pelvic diaphragm.

Sustentacular part supports the pelvic organs and comprises the larger pelvic diaphragm in the back and the smaller urogenital diaphragm in the front.

Lymphatic pump treatment techniques increase lymph flow through the external application of forces to the thoracic cage, abdomen, pelvic diaphragm, legs, and over the spleen and the liver.

A diaphragm in anatomy can refer to other flat structures such as the urogenital diaphragm or pelvic diaphragm, but "the diaphragm" generally refers to the thoracic diaphragm.

The pelvic diaphragm is a muscular partition formed by the levatores ani and coccygei, with which may be included the parietal pelvic fascia on their upper and lower aspects.

Some sources do not consider "pelvic floor" and "pelvic diaphragm" to be identical, with the "diaphragm" consisting of only the levator ani and coccygeus, while the "floor" also includes the perineal membrane and deep perineal pouch.

The Puboprostatic ligament is a thickening of the superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm in the male that extends laterally from the prostate to the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia and continues forward and medially from the tendinous arch to the pubis.
