Female Pelvis Structure
- The female pelvis is formed by the fusion of four bones: two hip bones (ossa coxae), the sacrum, and the coccyx.
- The pelvis is shaped by the remodeled segments of the birth canal.
- The female pelvis is wider and more rounded than the male pelvis, with a subpubic angle of approximately 90 degrees.
- The female pelvis has a larger outlet and a more rounded brim, which allows for easier childbirth.
- The pelvis has four foramina, which serve as passageways for nerves and blood vessels.
- The pelvis is composed of two parts: the false pelvis and the true pelvis, which are separated by the iliopectineal line.
- The false pelvis is the wider, upper part of the pelvis, while the true pelvis is the narrower, lower part.
