Dorschner et al. (2001 Adv Anat Embryol Cell Biol Vol 159) has not found a morphological substate for such a muscle.

The Musculus puborectalis colocalizes with the deep and superficial portions of the Musculus spincter ani externus (Wu et al. 2017 J Anat (Lond) 230:651-663; Wu et al. 2020 Clin Anat 33:275-285).

The kidney is covered by a Capsula fibrosa around which the Capsula adiposa (perirenalis) is found. The whole is enclosed with the Fascia renalis, which consists of an anterior layer or Fascia prerenalis and a posterior layer or Fascia retrorenalis. Between the Fascia retrorenalis and the dorsal body wall with the Fascia transversalis, the Corpus adiposum pararenale is found. The Fascia lateroconalis is the peritoneal thickening, which extends anterolaterally from the adjoining merging lateral borders of the prerenal and retrorenal fascia.

The smooth muscle fibres of the Deep layer are also known as the Musculus tarsalis superior (of Müller).

According to Fritsch et al. (2004 Adv Anat Embryol Cell Biol Vol 175) these terms are most confusing. In their opinion, there is only one structure, running from the pubic bone to the vesical neck, which mainly consists of smooth muscle cells intermingled with strands of dense connective tissue. They proposed to change these two terms into the term Musculopubovesicalis.

The transverse intermuscular septum separates the superficial and deep posterior compartments of the leg.
