what bone is both part of the axial and appendicular skeleton?
true
false, solid structure with no discs
sacrum
this part of the vertebrae is made of 2-4 fused vertebrae
coccyx
this muscle of the perineum helps control the anal opening? what are the muscles that comprise this?
Levator Ani
1) pubococcygeus
2) puborectalis***
3) Iliococcygeus

urethra and anus
urethra, vagina and anus
what is the area in front of the levator ani that supports the male genitalia and surrounds the female genitalia? this is found in the perineum
urogenital diaphragm
what comprises the anal opening, a muscle of the perineum? which one is skeletal and smooth muscle?
external(skeletal) and internal(smooth) sphincter
this is a longitudinal muscle of the perineum that runs along the pubic arch area form the ischium to the clitorus or base of the penis providing structure support and surrounds each crus of the penis?
ischiocavernous muscle
this muscle of the perineum wraps around the corpus spongiosum in male and urethral and vaginal openings in the female
