Pelvis Anatomy, Female

Get a clear overview of the pelvic bones and its correlation to the sacrum and lumbar vertebrae.

It is especially interesting to note the clear difference between the male and female pelvis. The female pelvis anatomy differs from the male pelvis primarily due to the requirements of childbirth. The female pelvis is wider, shallower, and has a larger pelvic outlet to accommodate the passage of a baby during delivery. It also has a wider pubic arch, a rounder pelvic brim, and a broader sacrum. Additionally, the iliac bones of the female pelvis are wider and more flared outwards. These structural differences in the female pelvis allow for successful childbirth and support the reproductive functions unique to women.

We absolutely adore the old hand drawn anatomy illustrations and the intention with this artwork has been to honour their particular style, while combining it with a modern approach to patient education. Throughout our vintage collection, the names and labels have all been positioned to point towards the very centre of each artwork, an effect that is further enhanced with our signature dotted lines. This technique has given the informative texts an added function as a graphic element by itself; not to distract from the original source materials, but to complement it.
