When classified by shape the pelvic bone is considered to be?
Irregular
Function of false pelvis?
The false pelvis is located above the pelvic brim (Inlet) and is more of an abdominal cavity than a pelvic one (Hence the name False). It houses the some abdominal organs like the small intestine.
Do males have a pubic bone?
Males do have a pubic bone. The pubic bone is the front bone portion of the pelvis or pelvic crest in the lower abdomen. Holds your hip bones together.
What is the main difference between pelvis of animals and human?
A human female's pelvis is wider; a male's pelvis is narrower. The wider pelvis assists if a female becomes pregnant, because hormones allow ligaments to relax, which further widens the pelvic outlet. This allows the baby's head and shoulders more room to pass through the pelvic bones as the infant enters the vaginal canal.
Difference between false pelvis and true pelvis?
The male and female pelvic areas vary in a number of ways, as required by the differences in internal organs and their function. The most obvious difference is a shorter, broader pelvis in females, which is limited by the need to articulate the hips and legs (to walk upright in a normal manner).Characteristics of Male Pelvis :Bone are taller, heavier, and thickerMore prominent bone markingsObturator foramen is roundPubic arch v-shapedPelvic inlet heart-shapedSmaller pelvic outlet smallerIschipubic rami is more evertedSciatic notch is narrowerSubpubic arch is more acuteIschial spine is projected inwardsAcetabulum is largerCharacteristics of Female Pelvis :Bones are lighter and less denseWider / shallower profileLarger superior and inferior aperturesObturator foramen is ovalPubic arch widerPelvic inlet oval-shapedIschiopubic rami is less evertedSciatic notch is widerSubpubic arch is widerIschial spine is projected outwardsAcetabulum is smaller
What bones of the human body differ in males and female?
The shape of the pelvic bones and the frontal bones differ.
Is a males pelvic bone heavier than a females pelvic bone?
All the bones in males are heavier than females, including the pelvic bone. This is due the effect of male hormone called as testesterone.
When classified by shape the pelvic bone is considered to be?
Irregular
Are males pelvic outlet more narrow than women's?
Yes , because men do not give birth that would indicate a smaller pelvic outlet compared to a womans

What are the spurs on ball pythons?
The spurs on pythons are called Pelvic Spurs. They are attached to what is left of the femur and pelvic girdle in Boas and Pythons. The males use them to tickle the females during courtship.
What does the pelvic ultrasound reveal about internal organs?
Ultrasound has the ability to detect the size and shape of pelvic organs, such as the bladder, and is useful in evaluating the cause of bladder dysfunction.
Do males have a pubic bone?
Males do have a pubic bone. The pubic bone is the front bone portion of the pelvis or pelvic crest in the lower abdomen. Holds your hip bones together.
What is the shape of the pelvic bone?
The Pelvis has a complex shape and consist of a number of elements. See the related link for a labelled drawing of a human pelvis.
The Mach number at inlet of a gas turbine diffuser is 0.3 The shape of thediffuser would be?
converging
Is the pelvic girdle in the female skeleton wider pubic arch than the male pelvic girdle?
The pubic arch on the female pelvis is greater than 90 degrees while the arch is less than 90 degrees in males
How could the doctor differentiate between man and woman pelvis?
There are many subtle differences but it's usually fairly obvious. A very general rule of thumb is considering whether you could fit a baby through the pelvic inlet (the space a baby would have to pass through during childbirth)? If so then it's probably a woman, if not it's probably a man. If you're interested there are more subtle differences, for example: In males the obturator foramen (the hole where some major leg muscles go) is round and in females it's oval. In males the acetabulum (the "socket" in the "ball and socket" joint where the femur (thigh bone) will attach) is larger than in females. The pelvic inlet (gap through the pelvis if you were looking down on it) is heart shaped in males and oval in females. The pubic arch (can't think of a way to describe it effectively has a large subpubic angle in women than in men. In men it's roughly shaped like an upside down V whereas in females it's wider (an angle greater than 90 degrees). In males the bones are thicker, heavier and taller and in females the pelvic bones are lighter and less dense. There are other differences as well but in most cases these would be enough to make an assessment of gender.
