perineal muscle in dogs

Any muscle organ that is part of a perineum [Automatically generated definition]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the perineal muscle is

Any muscle organ that is part of a perineum [Automatically generated definition]. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the perineal muscle is

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the muscular system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the perineal muscle connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of perineum.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the perineal muscle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as muscle of perineum, muscle organ of perineal region, muscle organ of perineum, perineal region muscle organ and perineum muscle organ. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
