The pelvic floor consists of a set of soft tissue structures, supported by a group of muscles, which are in turn attached to a bony framework. The soft tissues are attached to each other and the bony framework by condensations of fascial and fibromuscular tissues. This chapter will briefly ...
The pelvic floor consists of two types of muscle tissue: slow twitch (Type I), which make up about two-thirds of its muscle fibers, and fast twitch (Type II), accounting for the remaining one-third. Slow twitch fibers maintain a constant tone in these muscles so that the organs above t...
The pelvic floor is a dome-shaped muscle structure that consists mainly of striated muscle with midline defects enclosing the bladder anteriorly, the uterus in women, and the rectum posteriorly. From: Physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract (Fifth Edition), 2012 ...
How toned is your pelvic floor? If you live in France, it’s likely to be very toned. In Ireland, perhaps not so much. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the pelvic organs. It plays two other vital roles in women’s bodies: it...
The pelvic floor consists of three layers of muscles that form a sling from your tailbone to your pubic bone and also spans between your ischial tuberosities (the butt bones we sit on). These muscles support the pelvic organs, maintain continence (urine, feces, and gas), assist in stabili...
Pelvic floor physiology is poorly understood. The funnel shape of the pelvic floor and anal canal is uniquely developed to provide discriminatory continence of gas, liquid, and solid. Proximally, the pelvic floor consists of the pubococcygeus and iliococcygeus muscles. Distally, the anal canal ...
The male pelvic floor consists of several tissue layers, but there has been some nomenclature inconsistency in the literature. Varied names and boundaries have been utilized to describe PFMs and divisions between the muscle layers, a problem that may complicate health care provider communication. Stoke...

The parietal pelvic fascia consists of the obturator fascia, the fasciae over piriformis, and over levator ani (the pelvic diaphragm), and the presacral fascia. Obturator fascia The parietal pelvic fascia on the pelvic (medial) surface of obturator internus is well differentiated. Although in hum...
The pelvic floor consists of several components lying between the peritoneum and the vulvar skin. From above downward, these are the peritoneum, pelvic viscera and endopelvic fascia, levator ani muscles, perineal membrane, and superficial genital muscles. The support for all these structures comes fr...
