Architectural assessment of rhesus macaque pelvic floor muscles: comparison for use as a human model

ConclusionsOverall, RM provides the closest architectural representation of human PFM complex among species examined; however, differences between individual PFMs should be taken into consideration. As RM is closely followed by rat with respect to PFM similarity with humans, this less-sentient and substantially cheaper model is a good alternative for PFM studies.
