Male pelvic floor, artwork
Male pelvic floor. Computer artwork showing muscles of the pelvic floor. The front of the pelvis is at top. The large triangular muscles at the front of the pelvis is the deep transverse perineal muscle. The superficial transverse perineal muscle, is the thin strip that passes in front of the anal opening (hole at centre). Surrounding the anal opening is the puborectalis muscle. The muscle on either side of the coccyx (tailbone, bottom centre) is the coccygeus muscle. The pelvic floor provides support to the pelvic organs and maintains continence as part of the anal and urinary sphincters

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate and complex male pelvic floor, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of human anatomy. The computer-generated illustration presents a detailed view of the muscles that make up this crucial part of the body. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the large triangular muscles situated at the front of the pelvis, known as the deep transverse perineal muscle. Adjacent to it lies a thin strip called the superficial transverse perineal muscle, which gracefully passes in front of the anal opening positioned at its center. Surrounding this opening is another significant muscle called puborectalis, while on either side of it rests coccygeus muscle. The male pelvic floor plays an essential role in providing support to various organs within this region and maintaining continence through its involvement with both anal and urinary sphincters. This artwork not only highlights these vital functions but also emphasizes their interconnection with other components such as connective tissue and ligaments. With its blend of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both beauty and complexity inherent in our biological makeup. It serves as a reminder that beneath our skin lies a marvelously orchestrated musculoskeletal system that enables us to function optimally.
