  2. Pelvis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvis

    The same human pelvis, front imaged by X-ray (top), magnetic resonance imaging (middle), and 3-dimensional computed tomography (bottom). The pelvis (pl.: pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of an anatomical trunk, [1] between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton [2] (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).

  3. Phenice method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenice_method

    The Phenice method is a technique of determining the sex of a human skeleton from the innominate pelvis. In the procedure, sex is determined based on three features: the ventral arc, the subpubic concavity, and the medial aspect of the ischio-pubic ramus. As a non-metric absolute method, it relies on the recognition of discrete male and female ...

  4. Pelvic floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_floor

    Female pelvic muscles Male pelvic muscles. The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is an anatomical location in the human body, [1] which has an important role in urinary and anal continence, sexual function and support of the pelvic organs. [2] The pelvic floor includes muscles, both skeletal and smooth, ligaments and fascia.

  5. Sex differences in human physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human...

    The pelvis is, in general, different between the human female and male skeleton. [12] [13] Although variations exist and there may be a degree of overlap between typically male or female traits, [12] [13] the pelvis is the most dimorphic bone of the human skeleton and is therefore likely to be accurate when using it to ascertain a person's sex ...

  6. Human skeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skeleton

    The human skeleton is not as sexually dimorphic as that of many other primate species, but subtle differences between sexes in the morphology of the skull, dentition, long bones, and pelvis exist. In general, female skeletal elements tend to be smaller and less robust than corresponding male elements within a given population.

  7. Pubic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_arch

    A subpubic angle of 50–82 degrees indicates a male; an angle of 90 degrees indicates a female. [2] Other sources operate with 50–60 degrees for males and 70–90 degrees in females. [1] Women have wider hips, and thus a greater subpubic angle, in order to allow for child birth.

  8. Pelvic cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_cavity

    The pelvic cavity is a body cavity that is bounded by the bones of the pelvis. Its oblique roof is the pelvic inlet (the superior opening of the pelvis). Its lower boundary is the pelvic floor. The pelvic cavity primarily contains the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, distal ureters, proximal urethra, terminal sigmoid colon, rectum, and ...

  9. Vaginal support structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_support_structures

    The vaginal support structures are those muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, membranes and fascia, of the pelvic floor that maintain the position of the vagina within the pelvic cavity and allow the normal functioning of the vagina and other reproductive structures in the female.
