Have you seen the female pelvis prosection in Complete Anatomy? There are many significant anatomical, structural and functional differences between the male and female bony pelvises. Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general structure of the female pelvis is thinner and less dense, in comparison to the thick and heavy male pelvis, which is designed to support a heavier body build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The true pelvis is wide and shallow in the female, and the pelvic inlet, also known as the superior pelvic aperture is wide, oval and rounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While in the male it is heart shaped, and narrow. A male pelvis has a v-shaped pubic arch that is approximately <70\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pubic arch is usually wider in the female pelvis at about >80\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coccyx in the male pelvis is projected inwards and immovable while a female pelvis has a flexible and straighter coccyx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lateral view of the female pelvis also reveals the relationships between the urogenital and reproductive organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can view the detailed internal anatomy of each organ in both the male and female pelvises with Complete Anatomy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
