Explanation / Answer

The levator Ani forms the main part of pelvic diaphragm. It is made up of three muscles - puborectalis muscle, pubococcygeus muscle, ileococcygeus muscle.

Improper control over levator Ani muscle causes wetting of bed and urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, abnormal evacuation and sexual dysfunction.

Damaged levator Ani muscle causes less bowel movement.

If levator Ani is damaged, the connector muscle takes over. Prolonged damage can cause damage to connector muscle as well, and it can't hold the organs.
