The reproductive organs and the urinary bladder
The reproductive organs, such as the ovaries and testes, are partially protected by the pelvic girdle. The pelvis also provides support and protection for the lower part of the digestive system, including the rectum.
The pelvis protects the reproductive organs. These include the uterus, ovaries and the fallopian tubes in women as well as the prostate and bladder in men.
The pelvic girdle does not include the sacrum and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton.
In comparison to a male pelvic girdle, a female pelvic girdle typically has a wider pelvic inlet and wider pubic angle, allowing for childbirth. Additionally, the female pelvic bones are generally lighter and thinner than those of a male.
The pelvic girdle protects the uterus, bladder, rectum, small intestine and reproductive organs.
The illium, ischium, and pubic are the 3 pelvic bones that articulate with the pelvic girdle
The pectoral girdle is typically lighter in weight compared to the pelvic girdle. This is because the pectoral girdle is designed for more flexibility and mobility in upper body movements, while the pelvic girdle provides support and stability to the lower body.
No, the femur does not insert into the pelvic girdle at the patella. The femur connects to the pelvic girdle at the acetabulum, which is located in the hip bone. The patella, or kneecap, is a bone that sits in front of the knee joint and provides protection and leverage for the quadriceps muscle, but it is not involved in the connection between the femur and the pelvic girdle.
