Constrictor urethrae
Deep transverse perineal muscle
The Transversus perinei profundus (or deep transverse perineal) arises from the inferior rami of the ischium and runs to the median line, where it interlaces in a tendinous raphé with its fellow of the opposite side.
It lies in the same plane as the Sphincter urethræ membranaceæ; formerly the two muscles were described together as the Constrictor urethrae.
