What is pelvis bone?

The pelvis is a large, bony structure located at the base of the spine in the lower part of the trunk. It consists of several bones, including the hip bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis), sacrum, and coccyx.

The pelvis plays a crucial role in supporting the body's weight, connecting the upper body with the lower limbs, and protecting the organs in the pelvic cavity, such as the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and intestines.

The pelvis also serves as an attachment point for various muscles, ligaments, and tendons that facilitate movement and stability of the hip joints and the lower body.

In women, the pelvis is wider and shallower than in men, to accommodate childbirth. The female pelvis is also more flexible to allow for the passage of the baby during labor.

Injuries to the pelvis, such as fractures or dislocations, can be severe and may require surgery or other interventions to repair and stabilize the bones. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are often necessary to restore normal function and mobility after a pelvis injury.
