In the female the muscles of the superficial perineal space are named the same as in the male but their structure is obviously quite different. In the female, bulbospongiosus covers the superficial parts of the vestibular bulbs and greater vestibular glands and passes forward on either side of the vagina to attach to the body of the clitoris. Ischiocavernosus originates from the ischial tuberosity and ramus but covers the crus of the clitoris which are much smaller than the penile crus.
