The most superficial muscles of the perineum are at what general location? What idp they all connect to?
What contents are in it? Fibers/Muscles
All connect to perineal body in the midline between the Anal Canal and the Perineal Membrane, it contains Collagenous and Elastic Fibers and is the attachment point for the Bulbospongiosus M, External Anal Sphincter M., Superficial Transverse Perineal M. and Deep Transverse Perineal M. It is sometimes classified as a central tendon of the Pelvic and Urogenital Diaphragms.
