Structure | Location/Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
fascia, cremasteric | intermediate covering layer of the spermatic cord | derived from the internal abdominal oblique muscle |
fascia, deep penile/clitoral | an extension of the muscular fascia of the ischiocavernosus m. and bulbospongiosus m. onto the shaft of penis/clitoris | deep fascia of the penis/clitoris forms a tubular sheath surrounding the erectile bodies, dorsal n. of the penis/clitoris, dorsal a. of the penis/clitoris, deep dorsal v. of the penis/clitoris; the superficial dorsal v. of penis/clitoris lies superficial to the deep fascia of the penis/clitoris; deep fascia of the penis is also known as: Buck's fascia |
fascia, endopelvic | fascia within the true pelvis that supports the pelvic viscera | endopelvic fascia is continuous with the extraperitoneal connective tissue and with the superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm |
fascia, external spermatic | outermost covering of the spermatic cord that is derived from a layer of the abdominal wall | derived from the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle |
fascia, inferior, of the pelvic diaphragm | an extension of the obturator internus fascia covering the inferior surface of the pelvic diaphragm | inferior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm is the superior boundary of the ischioanal fossa |
fascia, internal spermatic | innermost covering of the spermatic cord | derived from the transversalis fascia |
fascia, obturator | fascia covering the obturator internus m. | obturator fascia attaches to the margin of the obturator foramen; it has a thickening (arcus tendineus m. levatoris ani) that is the origin of the iliococcygeus portion of the pelvic diaphragm |
fascia, superior, of the pelvic diaphragm | an extension of the transversalis fascia covering the superior surface of the pelvic diaphragm | superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm is continuous with the iliacus fascia and covers the anterior surface of the piriformis m. |
