Deep branch of the perineal nerve

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Infobox Nerve The deep branch of the perineal nerve (or muscular branches) are distributed to the muscles of the perineum.[1] These include the superficial transverse perineal muscle, bulbocavernous, ischiocavernosus, and constrictor urethræ.

A branch, the nerve to the bulb, given off from the nerve to the bulbocavernosus, pierces this muscle, and supplies the corpus cavernosum, ending in the mucous membrane of the urethra.
