pelvic region
The pelvic region is the lower part of the torso, located between the abdomen and the thighs. It contains important structures such as the pelvis, which is a bony ring that supports the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing. The pelvic region also houses vital organs, including parts of the digestive system, urinary system, and reproductive system.
In humans, the pelvic region is divided into two main areas: the greater pelvis and the lesser pelvis. The greater pelvis is the upper part, while the lesser pelvis contains the pelvic cavity. This region plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including childbirth and the elimination of waste.
