Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 62: July-December, 1910 In the erect posture of the woman the coccygeal ends of these two muscles are higher than the pubic. The lowest point of the funnel is the central perineal tendon. The ilio-coccygei, comparable to the external obliques, sweep from the white lines downward, inward, and backward to the coccyx. The concavity of the diaphragm is thus narrowed transversely from above downward and is narrower anteriorly than posteriorly. Leaflets from the recto - vesical fascia go to the principal pelvic viscera. They partially ensheathe the bladder and the tubular organs. Incidentally, it will be seen that the pelvic floor is built on the same general plan as the abdominal wall. Bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, and the lower portion of the rectum, that below the coccyx, are all more or less closely related to the levator framework. By the anterior and the lateral true ligaments, the neck of the bladder is firmly fixed to the recto-vesical fascia immediately behind the pubic bones. The base of the bladder is held up by the vesico-vaginal leaflet of the latter fascia through its connection with the anterior face of the uterus. The support of the bladder base depends in part, too, upon the integrity of the entire antero-posterior beam formed by the vesico-vaginal fascia and the utero-sacral ligaments. When the posterior uterine ligaments lose their tone and tension, relaxation of the anterior half of the beam is likely to follow.
