Urogenital diaphragm

Index Urogenital diaphragm

Older texts have asserted the existence of a urogenital diaphragm, also called the triangular ligament, which was described as a layer of the pelvis that separates the deep perineal sac from the upper pelvis, lying between the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm (perineal membrane) and superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm.

Coronal plane

A coronal plane (also known as the frontal plane) is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections.

Deep perineal pouch

The deep perineal pouch (also deep perineal space) is the anatomic space enclosed in part by the perineum, and located superior to the perineal membrane.

Internal pudendal artery

The internal pudendal artery is one of the three pudendal arteries that branches off the internal iliac artery, providing blood to the external genitalia.

Internal pudendal veins

The internal pudendal veins (internal pudic veins) are a set of veins in the pelvis.

Pelvic floor

The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis.

Pelvis

The pelvis (plural pelves or pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk of the human body between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton).

Penis

A penis (plural penises or penes) is the primary sexual organ that male animals use to inseminate sexually receptive mates (usually females and hermaphrodites) during copulation.

Perineal membrane

The perineal membrane is an anatomical term for a fibrous membrane in the perineum.

Perineal nerve

The perineal nerve is a nerve arising from the pudendal nerve that supplies the perineum.

Perineum

The perineum is the space between the anus and scrotum in the male and between the anus and the vulva in the female.

Pubic arch

The pubic arch, also referred to as the ischiopubic arch, is part of the pelvis.

Radiology

Radiology is the science that uses medical imaging to diagnose and sometimes also treat diseases within the body.

Retrograde urethrogram

A retrograde urethrogram is a routine radiologic procedure (most typically in males) used to image the integrity of the urethra.

Superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm

The superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm is continuous with the obturator fascia and stretches across the pubic arch.

Urethra

In anatomy, the urethra (from Greek οὐρήθρα – ourḗthrā) is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the urinary meatus for the removal of urine from the body.

Urinary bladder

The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ in humans and some other animals that collects and stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination.

Urology

Urology (from Greek οὖρον ouron "urine" and -λογία -logia "study of"), also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs.
