It lies in the same plane as the [[Sphincter urethræ membranaceæ]]; formerly the two muscles were described together as the [[Constrictor urethrae]]. ==Additional images== <gallery> Image:Gray542.png|The superficial branches of the internal pudendal artery. </gallery> ==External links== * {{GPnotebook|-697630643}} * {{MuscleLoyola|dtp}} * {{SUNYAnatomyFigs|41|06|06}} - "Muscles of the female urogenital diaphragm (deep perineal pouch) and structures located inferior to it." * {{SUNYAnatomyImage|9|1|59}} * {{SUNYAnatomyImage|9|1|80}} {{Gray's}} {{muscle-stub}} {{Muscles_of_trunk}} [[de:Musculus transversus perinei profundus]] [[es:Músculo transverso profundo del periné]]
