Tendinous center of the perineum [Perineal body]

the tendinous center of the perineum (perineal body) is a fibromuscular structure located in the midline of the perineum. It serves as a central point of attachment for several perineal muscles, including the external anal sphincter, bulbospongiosus, and superficial and deep transverse perineal muscles.

This structure plays an important role in:

• Supporting the pelvic organs,

• Maintaining perineal integrity during defecation, urination, and parturition,

• Providing a stable anchor for muscle contractions involved in tail and urogenital functions.
