Fasciae of the Pelvis and Perineum

StructureLocation/DescriptionNotes
fascia, cremastericintermediate covering layer of the spermatic cordderived from the internal abdominal oblique muscle
fascia, deep penile/clitoralan 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, endopelvicfascia within the true pelvis that supports the pelvic visceraendopelvic 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 diaphragman 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 spermaticinnermost covering of the spermatic cordderived from the transversalis fascia
fascia, obturatorfascia 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 diaphragman 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.
