How does a baby get through the bones of the pelvis during childbirth?

By contractions. Contractions open your cervix, which allows the baby to come through the pelvis. During the pregnancy hormones have made the bones softer so the baby can pass without injuries. This is why many women have pain in their hips and back and difficulties to walk during pregnancy.

Why a human pelvic girdle is ideal for providing evidence of a person's gender?
The pelvis is the part of the skeleton whose anatomy is most deifferent between sexes. The average male pelvis is much more heavier and thicker than the female's. This is due to the forces exerted on the bones by stronger muscles. The female pelvis is adapted for pregnancy and childbirth. It is much wider and shallower and has a larger pelvic inlet and outlet, which allows passage for the infants head during childbirth. The female's pelvis is also tilted foward while the male's is relatively vertical.Collapse Replies
