Pelvic fascia

Within the anterior compartment two structures are found that are composed of dense connective tissue the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia that originates from the pubic bone and that is connected to the pelvic parietal fascia covering the levator ani muscle on its visceral side (superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm see Table 1.1) and the semicircular fibrous sheath that covers the ventral and lateral...

Our option This structure originates from the pubic bone laterally, it is connected with the superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm white line laterally and with the pubovesical ligament medially. 

A small presacral subcompartment (see Table 1.1) is situated in front of the sacrum and coccyx. It is bordered by the caudal segments of the vertebral column dorsally and ventrolaterally, it is clearly demarcated by the pelvic parietal fascia (see Table 1.1) (Fig. 1.2), which is called presacral fascia (see Table 1.1) at this position. In fetuses, the presacral subcompartment contains loose connective tissue, but it is predominated by large presacral veins. 

The striated muscles of the anterior compartment are the ventral parts of the levator ani muscle (see Table 1.1), i.e. the pubococcygeus and puborectalis muscle of each side. As they are covered by the superior fascia of the pelvic diaphragm, they are clearly separated by the adjacent organs (Fig. 1.10a,d and...
