It is funnel shaped and is pierced in the midline by the urethra, vagina, and rectum. It consists of a muscular layer made up of the paired levator ani and coccygeus muscles. The fascial layer consists of two portions, the parietal and visceral layers. The parietal layer comprises the peritoneum continuous with the connective tissue sheaths of the psoas and iliac muscles. The visceral layer is split from the parietal layer at the white line passing downward and inward to form the upper sheath of the levator ani muscles; the anterior part of this layer unites the bladder with the posterior wall of the pubes. The middle portion splits into three parts: the vesical layer, investing the bladder and urethra; the rectovaginal layer, forming the rectovaginal septum; and the rectal layer, investing the rectum. The posterior part is the base of the broad ligament, where it sheaths the uterine arteries and supports the cervix."}
