several questions are asked in this topic, so u gotta be thorough with them. recently a question was asked in the DNB CET june 2008 related to this topic and the question was as follows ;
question : which of the following is not a superficial perineal muscle ?
a. superficial transverse perinei
b. ischiocavernous
c. bulbospongiosus
d. sphincter urethrae
answer : d . sphincter urethrae .
so lets study the perineal muscles .
The superficial perineal muscles are three in number , they are :
1. superficial transverse perinei
2. bulbospongiosus
3. ischiocavernosus
The deep perineal muscles are two in number , they are ;
1. deep transverse perinei
2. sphincter urethrae
( there is an important point which u have to remember when u are answering questions related to this particular topic. most of these questions have ILIOCOCCYGEUS and PUBOCOCCYGEUS in them, these two are together called the LEVATOR ANI , which is a pelvic muscle and not a perineal muslce. it constitutes the pelvic diaphragm. so remember that iliococcygeus or pubococcygeus or levator ani , any of these are neither superficial nor deep perineal muscles ).
