Review Key Pelvic Structures

with Human Anatomy Atlas

The pelvic cavity is created by the space

between the pelvic bones.

Muscles and ligaments form the floor and

walls of the pelvis.

Below the pelvic floor are muscles of the

urogenital diaphragm, which contribute
to organ function.

Organs within the cavity support digestive,

urinary, and reproductive functions.

In the female, the urethra and bladder lie in

front of the vagina.
The rectum is located behind the vagina.

In the male, the bladder is located behind

the pubic bone and above the prostate,
a reproductive gland.

The ureters and urethra are ducts that

connect to the bladder. The urethra passes
through the prostate and into the penis.

All the organs, vasculature, muscles, and

ligaments within the cavity support digestive,
urinary, and reproductive functions.
Pretty amazing, huh?
