Anatomical terms of muscle

The pubovaginal muscle is a pelvic floor muscle that attaches to the muscles of lateral walls of the midsection of the vagina and the pubis.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is relatively short compared to the other levator ani muscles and extends between the rectum and the vagina.[7][8][9] Other muscles that are part of the levator ani are: the pubovisceral muscle which is made up of the puboperineal; pubovaginal, and puboanal muscles; the puborectal muscle; and the iliococcygeal muscle.[9][10] The pubovaginal muscle was identified by anatomists as early as 1912.[11]
