In women, each bulbospongiosus muscle is anchored posteriorly to the perineal body and courses anterolaterally over the inferior surface of the related greater vestibular gland and the bulb of the vestibule to attach to the surface of the bulb and to the perineal membrane (Fig. 5.72A). Other fibers course anterolaterally to blend with the fibers of the ischiocavernosus muscle, and still others travel anteriorly and arch over the body of the clitoris.
