Anatomical terminology |
The perineal membrane is an anatomical term for a fibrous membrane in the perineum. The term "inferior fascia of urogenital diaphragm", used in older texts, is considered equivalent to the perineal membrane.
It is the superior border of the superficial perineal pouch, and the inferior border of the deep perineal pouch.
