The Pelvic Diaphragm
The levator ani and coccygeus muscles form the pelvic diaphragm, which provides support for the pelvic organs and helps with maintaining continence.
Levator ani and coccygeus muscles together form the pelvic diaphragm, which provides support to the pelvic organs and helps maintain continence. It plays a key role in pelvic floor function and stability.
The coccygeus muscle extends from the coccyx to the ischial spine, which is part of the hip bone. It provides support to the pelvic organs and assists in functions like defecation and childbirth. Contraction of the coccygeus muscle can help tilt the coccyx forward.
The nerve supply to the levator scapula muscle is from the dorsal scapular nerve (C5) and the third and fourth cervical nerves (C3, C4) that form the cervical plexus.
When the term "levator" is part of a muscle's action, it typically indicates that the muscle is involved in lifting or elevating a specific body part. For example, the levator scapulae muscle elevates the scapula (shoulder blade), while the levator anguli oris muscle elevates the angle of the mouth when smiling.

levator ani .... is comprised of illicoccoygeus and the pubcoccoyeus. this makes the "floor or diaphragm" of the pelvi
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.Dr Rafi Hamidi
The levator ani muscles, specifically the pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and iliococcygeus muscles, make up the majority of the pelvic floor. These muscles play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs and maintaining continence.
Levator ani and coccygeus; strengthening these muscles helps in the delivery of the child by resisting downward forces when "pushing."
The levator ani is a muscle found in the rectal area. It provides some of the support for the pelvic organs.

hawaiian for beautiful. my sons name. I think ani is Latin origin meaning pelvis. For example levator ani is a muscle lifting pelvis. levator=lifter; ani=pelvis (some might say ani=anus area)

The levator ani muscle provides a sphincter-like action in the pelvic floor, aiding in controlling the openings of the urethra, vagina, and anus. It plays a crucial role in maintaining continence and supporting the pelvic organs.
