All of the following muscles constitute the pelvic diaphragm, EXCEPT:
Pelvic diaphragm is a broad muscular sling which provide suppo to the pelvic viscera. It is composed of levator ani and coccygeus muscle. The components of levator ani muscles are pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and ileococcygeus muscles. The pubococcygeus muscle is fuher subdivided into pubovaginalis, puboperinealis, and puboanalis muscles, which inse into the vagina, perineal body, and anus. Among the muscles of the pelvic diaphragm, during vaginal bih pubococcygeus is damaged more commonly resulting in a greater risk of pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence.
