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]].
