What is the difference between greater pelvis and lesser pelvis?

The greater pelvis, also known as the false pelvis, is the upper part of the pelvic cavity, situated above the pelvic brim and primarily supports the abdominal organs. In contrast, the lesser pelvis, or true pelvis, lies below the pelvic brim and is involved in childbirth, as it contains the birth canal. The greater pelvis is wider and more shallow, while the lesser pelvis is narrower and deeper, making it more relevant for pelvic measurements during delivery.
