from pubic bone and wraps around rectum then back to opposite pubic bone.
Attachments of Pubo-coccygeus muscle ?
pubic bone wraps around toward coccyx then goes back to pubic bone.
Attachments of Ilio-coccygeus muscle ?
ilium to coccyx then back to ilium
What is the most posterior muscle of pelvic floor and location?
