Study Notes
Pelvis and Pelvic Girdle
- The pelvis is the inferior most part of the abdominal cavity, inferior to the pelvic brim
- The pelvis lies inferior to the abdomen
- The pelvis is divided into the greater (false) pelvis, and the lesser (true) pelvis.
- The greater pelvis contains the viscera, e.g., ileum, sigmoid colon
- The lesser pelvis (true) pelvis is inferior to the pelvic brim
- The lesser pelvis contains the pelvic viscera, deep parts of perineum, specifically ischio-anal fossae.
- The pelvic floor/diaphragm is formed by pelvic diaphragm
- It separates the pelvis from the perineum
