perineal muscle

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 human body.

Where the perineal muscle is

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the muscular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the perineal muscle connects to

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

Questions

Where is the perineal muscle?

What does the perineal muscle connect to?

Part of: musculature of perineum and perineum.

Is the perineal muscle the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
