===Fascia===
Perineal [[fascia]] terminology can be confusing, and there is some controversy over the nomenclature. This stems from the fact that there are two parts to the fascia, the superficial and deep parts, and each of these can be subdivided into superficial and deep parts.

The layers and contents are as follows, from superficial to deep:
{{ordered list
| [[Human skin|skin]]
| superficial perineal fascia: [[Subcutaneous tissue]] divided into two layers: (a) A superficial fatty layer, and (b) [[Colles' fascia]], a deeper, membranous layer
| deep perineal fascia and muscles:
{{wikitable| class="wikitable"
| [[Superficial perineal pouch]] || Contains superficial perineal muscles: [[Transversus perinei superficialis muscle|transversus perinei superficialis]], [[Bulbospongiosus muscle|bulbospongiosus]], [[Ischiocavernosus muscle|ischiocavernosus]]
 |-
 | Inferior fascia of [[urogenital diaphragm]], or [[perineal membrane]] || A membranous layer of the [[deep fascia]]
 |-
 | [[Deep perineal pouch]] || Contains the deep perineal muscles: [[transversus perinei profundus muscle|transversus perinei profundus]], [[Sphincter urethrae membranaceae muscle|sphincter urethrae membranaceae]]
 |-
 | [[Superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm]] || Considered hypothetical by some modern anatomists, but still commonly used to logically divide the contents of the region

| fascia and muscles of [[pelvic floor]] ([[levator ani]], [[coccygeus]])}}
