Study Notes
Pelvic Walls
- The pelvic walls include the obturator internus and piriformis muscles.
Pelvic Diaphragm
- The pelvic diaphragm comprises two muscles: levator ani and coccygeus.
Levator Ani Muscles
- Includes four parts: Puboprostaticus (PP), Pubovaginalis (PV), Puborectalis (PR), and Pubococcygeus (PC).
- Also includes Iliococcygeus.
Coccygeus Muscle
- A component of the pelvic diaphragm.
