The floor of the pelvis is formed by the pelvic diaphragm.This diaphragm is formed by two layers of fascia with a middle layer of skeletal muscle.The muscles forming the middle layer are the levator ani and coccygeus muscles.The levator ani acts as a muscular sling for the rectum and marks the boundary between the rectum and the anal canal.
