female pelvis :-  pelvis is composed of four bones—two innominate bones, sacrum and coccyx.  These are united together by four joints— two sacroiliac joints,  sacrococcygeal joint  symphysis pubis. The pelvis is anatomically divided into a false pelvis and a true pelvis, the boundary line being the brim of the pelvis. The bony landmarks on the brim of the pelvis from anterior to posterior on each side are— upper border of symphysis pubis, pubic crest , pubic tubercle , pectineal line, iliopubic eminence , iliopectineal line, sacroiliac articulation,  anterior border of the ala of sacrum   sacral promontory                     FALSE PELVIS The false pelvis is formed by the iliac portions of the innominate bones and is limited above by the iliac crests. It has got Mlittle obstetric significance except that its measurements can to a certain extent, predict the size and configuration of the true pelvis. Its only obstetric function is to support the enlarged uterus during pregnancy. Its bo
