Question: what is the function of the pelvic diaphragm?
Answer: The diaphragm helps to support the pelvic viscera, resists increases in intra-abdominal pressure, and aids in micturition. The fascia of the pelvic diaphragm, as part of the parietal pelvic fascia, is usually described in two layers (see figs. 38-2 and 38-3).
