Sixth Page

The female pelvis is composed of the sacrum, coccyx, and two innominate bones.
It forms a basin-like structure to protect pelvic organs and support the body’s weight.

Seventh Page

The sacrum is a triangular bone formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae.
It’s the posterior wall of the pelvis and aids in nerve, blood, lymphatic vessel passage and support.
The coccyx is a small triangular bone formed by the fusion of four vertebrae.
It’s situated inferior to the sacrum and is attached to it.

Eighth Page

Each innominate bone is made up of three bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis).
The ilium is the flared-out bone of the pelvis.
The ischium is the lower, thick portion of the innominate bone.
The pubis is the smallest of the three and forms the inferior part of the acetabulum.

Ninth Page

The pelvis bones connect at three primary joints; sacroiliac joint, symphysis pubis, and sacrococcygeal joint.

Tenth Page

The sacroiliac joints are slightly movable.
The symphysis pubis is a secondary cartilaginous joint.
Its function is supportive in the non-pregnant state, increasing flexibility in the pregnant state due to hormones.

Eleventh Page

Ligaments help hold the joints of the pelvis together.
Three key categories are sacroiliac, inter-pubic/pubic ligaments, and sacro-tuberos ligaments.

Twelfth Page

The pelvis is divided into two parts for obstetric purposes: The false pelvis, and the true pelvis.
The false pelvis protects the abdominal organs, but it is irrelevant during childbirth.
The true pelvis is the bony canal through which the baby must travel during birth; It is a significant factor in maternity care, the true pelvis is divided into brim, cavity, and outlet.

Fourteenth Page

The Pelvic Brim delineates the false pelvis from the true pelvis, crucial to evaluating the birthing process.
Landmarks surround the pelvic brim, including the sacrum, sacral wings, and iliopectineal line.
The cavity is within the true pelvis, supporting the fetal descent, length, and shape of the lower pelvis.
The pelvic outlet is the lowest and most important section for the birthing process to the maternal pelvic region.

Fifteenth Page

Measuring the pelvic diameters is important in maternity care to assess if the pelvis is normal, as some diameters are critical for a healthy birthing process.

Sixteenth Page

The pelvic cavity diameters are round, thus, all diameters are the same length. Common measurements are antero-posterior, transverse and oblique.

Seventeenth Page

The pelvic outlet diameters are essential for the birthing process. The relevant diameters are antero-posterior, oblique, and transverse.

Eighteenth Page

Various types of pelvis exist; differences are due to gender, anatomical variation among others. These types are gynaecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid.

Nineteenth Page

Gynaecoid pelvis is the most common type, considered normal and suitable for vaginal childbirth.
Its features are wider, rounder pelvic inlet and outlet.
Easier vaginal childbirth is more likely compared to the other types.

Twentieth Page

Android pelvis is similar to the male pelvis.
Features are a heart-shaped inlet, and narrow outlet, typically leading to more difficult and often problematic vaginal delivery.

Twenty-First Page

Anthropoid pelvis is characterized by a long anteroposterior diameter and a relatively narrow transverse diameter. This usually leads to more difficult and often problematic deliveries.
Often linked to difficult labor and the possibility for more complications associated with childbirth due to particular presentation.

### Twenty-Second Page

Platypelloid pelvis is recognized by its kidney-shaped pelvic brim and a flattened shape. This could imply complications during childbirth.

### Twenty-Third Page

It’s crucial to recognize warning signs of a potentially challenging or dangerous birthing experience.
A contracted pelvis can alter the birthing process and necessitate a caesarean section.

### Twenty-Fourth Page

Pelvic floor muscles are soft tissues that support internal organs.

Twenty-Fifth Page

Deep pelvic floor muscles support the bladder and bowel.
The three pairs are iliol-coccygeus, ischio-coccygeus, and pubo-coccygeus muscles.

Twenty-Sixth Page

Superficial pelvic floor muscles provide additional support to the deep muscles.
Five pairs contribute; Bulbo-cavernosus, ischio-cavernosus, and Transverse perineal, Extern Anal sphincter, membranous sphincter of the urethra.

Twenty-Seventh Page

Different muscles are located within the pelvis and around vaginal and urethral regions.

### Twenty-Eighth Page

Twenty-Ninth Page
