Differences between male and female pelvis ?
MALE: smaller subpubic angle 70 deg ; Female: Larger subpubic angle 90-100 deg.
Male: Heart shaped inlet, narrow outlet, narrow cavity, convex sacrum.
Female: Oval-shaped inlet, Roomy outlet, roomy cavity, wide/flat sacrum.

2) Coccygeus.
name the three muscles of “Levator Ani” ?
Pubo-rectalis, Pubo-coccygeus, Ilio-coccygeus.
Attachments of Pubo-rectalis muscle ?
from pubic bone and wraps around rectum then back to opposite pubic bone.
Attachments of Pubo-coccygeus muscle ?
pubic bone wraps around toward coccyx then goes back to pubic bone.
Attachments of Ilio-coccygeus muscle ?
ilium to coccyx then back to ilium
