226
Ischiocavernosus insertion
surrounds the crus
227
Ischiocavernosus main action
responsible for erection in both males and females
228
Ischiocavernosus innervation
Muscular branch of perineal nerve
229
superficial transverse perineal muscle origin
internal surface of ischiopubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
230
Superficial transverse perineal muscle insertion
perineal body
231
Superficial transverse perineal muscle action
supports and fixes perineal body/pelvic floor to support abdominopelvic viscera and regulate abdominal pressure
232
Superficial transverse perineal muscle innervation
muscular branch of perineal nerve
233
deep transverse perineal muscle origin
internal surface of ischiopubic ramus and ischial tuberosity
234
deep transverse perineal muscle insertion
perineal body and external anal sphincter
235
deep transverse perineal muscle action
supports and fixes perineal body/pelvic floor to support abdominopelvic viscera and help regulate abdominal pressure
236
deep transverse perineal muscle innervation
muscular branch of perineal nerve
237
T/F: the external urethral sphincter/compressor urethrae is skeletal muscle and thus under voluntary control?
TRUE, main action is voluntary control of urine flow
238
what is the external urtheral sphincter/compressor urethrae formed by?
1. thickening of the wall – called the external urethral sphincter 2. sling around the urethrae associated with the thickening called the compressor urethrae – acts like the puborectalis – squeezes the tube
