"The bony pelvis is formed by the sacrum and coccyx and a pair of hip bones ("ossa coxae"), which are part of the appendicular skeleton. Its primary function is the transmission of forces from the axial skeleton to the lower limbs as well as supporting the pelvic viscera."
"The pelvic brim defines the pelvic inlet and the following structures contribute to it 2:"
"The pelvic brim defines the pelvic inlet and the following structures contribute to it 2:"
"The pelvic outlet is formed by the following structures 2:"
"The pelvic cavity is inferior part of the abdominopelvic cavity and is in direct connection with the abdominal cavity."
"lesser pelvis (or true or minor pelvis) is inferior to the pelvic brim and lies between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic outlet"
"greater pelvis (or false or major pelvis) is the expanded portion of the cavity situated superior and anterior to the pelvic brim"
"anthropoid pelvis (25%): long AP diameters, short transverse diameters and narrow infrapubic angle"
"platypelloid ("flat female") pelvis (5%): short AP diameters, long transverse diameters and wide infrapubic angle"

"Until puberty, each hip bone consists of three separate bones yet to be fused: ilium, ischium and pubis connected by the triradiate cartilage."
"Useful for imaging the bony pelvis and can be used in contrast studies, for example, urethrograms or intravenous pyelograms (IVP)."
