(Redirected from Sebileau muscle)

Sebileau's muscle is a muscle that is found in the human body. It is named after Pierre Sebileau, a French surgeon who first described it.

Etymology[edit | edit source]

The term "Sebileau's muscle" is derived from the name of Pierre Sebileau, a French surgeon who first described this muscle. Sebileau was a prominent figure in the field of surgery during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Sebileau's muscle is a small, thin muscle that is located in the pelvis. It is part of the pelvic floor, which is a group of muscles that support the organs in the pelvis. The muscle is attached to the pubic bone at one end and the sacrum at the other end.

Function[edit | edit source]

The primary function of Sebileau's muscle is to support the organs in the pelvis. It helps to maintain the position of the bladder, uterus, and rectum. In addition, it plays a role in controlling the release of urine and feces.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Abnormalities or damage to Sebileau's muscle can lead to a variety of health problems. These can include pelvic organ prolapse, in which one or more of the pelvic organs drop from their normal position, and urinary incontinence, which is the inability to control urination.
