3. Describe important differences between a male and female pelvis
1. The female inlet is larger and more circular.
2. The female pelvis as a whole is shallower and bones are lighter and thinner.
3. The female sacrum is shorter and less curved.
4. The female ischial spines are shorter and farther apart; thus the outlet is larger.
5. The female pubic are is more rounded because the angle of the pubic arch is greater than 90 degrees.
