    Structurally, adult male brains are on average 11–12% heavier and 10% bigger than female brains. [21] Though statistically there are sex differences in white matter and gray matter percentage, this ratio is directly related to brain size, and some [ 22 ] argue these sex differences in gray and white matter percentage are caused by the average ...

    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 ...

    Sexual differentiation is the process of development of the sex differences between males and females from an undifferentiated zygote. [1] [2] Sex determination is often distinct from sex differentiation; sex determination is the designation for the development stage towards either male or female, while sex differentiation is the pathway towards the development of the phenotype.

    The same perfect vs. lesser relationship is present between male and female reproductive fluids as in Galen's model as male and female genitalia.
