Question
Indicate whether each statement is true or false.1. In a male, the pelvic inlet and outlet are small and the subpubic angle is greater than 90 degrees. 2. The opening to the true pelvis is the pelvic inlet and the inferior opening is the pelvic outlet. 3. The false pelvis is formed by muscle overlying bone of the true pelvis.
Solution
- False - In a male, the pelvic inlet and outlet are generally smaller and the subpubic angle is less than 90 degrees. This is opposite in females to accommodate childbirth.
- True - The opening to the true pelvis is indeed the pelvic inlet and the inferior opening is the pelvic outlet.
