A09.5.00.001 Perineum This term, like the term fascia, has been used in different ways in different languages and circumstances. In its most restricted sense, and in obstetrics, it has equated with perineal body; in an intermediate sense it has included only superficial structures within anal and urogenital triangles; in its widest sense, as used here, it includes all structures within those triangles, extending deeply as far as the inferior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm that separates it from pelvic cavity.
A09.5.00.005 Corpus perineale Tendineum has been omitted from the alternative centrum perinei: the perineal body is fibromuscular rather than tendinous and quite unlike the centrum tendineum of the diaphragm.
A04.5.04.016 Corpus anococcygeum The term corpus, rather than ligamentum, has been used here because it is a stratified nonligamentous structure in which fleshy muscle attachments underlie a tendon.
