		It receives (a) the gluteal, internal pudendal, and obturator veins, which have their origins outside the pelvis; (b) the lateral sacral veins, which lie in front of the sacrum; and (c) the middle hemorrhoidal, vesical, uterine, and vaginal veins, which originate in venous plexuses connected with the pelvic viscera.
		They enter the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen and join to form a single stem which opens into the lower part of the hypogastric vein.
		It runs backward and upward on the lateral wall of the pelvis below the obturator artery, and then passes between the ureter and the hypogastric artery, to end in the hypogastric vein.

		The Lymph Glands of the Abdomen and Pelvis—The lymph glands of the abdomen and pelvis may be divided, from their situations, into (a) parietal, lying behind the peritoneum and in close association with the larger bloodvessels; and (b) visceral, which are found in relation to the visceral arteries.
		The lymphatic vessels of the walls of the abdomen and pelvis may be divided into two sets, superficial and deep.
		Those of the parietes of the pelvis, which accompany the superior and inferior gluteal, and obturator vessels, follow the course of the hypogastric artery, and ultimately join the lateral aortic glands.

	Pelvis
		The pelvis articulates with the sacrum in the back (and thereby connects to the rest of the vertebral column) and to the legs through the ball-and-socket joint formed by the two
		The acetabulum is the large, circular cavity in each side of the pelvis which accepts the head of the femur to form the ball-and-socket hip joint.
		Articulating with the acetabulum of the pelvis at its head, and the tibia, fibula, and patella to form the knee joint at its lower end, each femur directly bears the weight of the upper body.

	Pelvis Problems
		The pelvis is a basin-shaped structure that supports the spinal column and protects the abdominal organs.
		Osteitis pubis is an inflammation of the pubic symphysis, the slightly moveable joint of the front of the pelvis.
		Characterized by pain in the groin and tenderness over the front of the pelvis, this condition often is caused by repeated pelvis stress, such as kicking the ball in soccer.

	[No title]
		Before considering the anatomy of the pelvis itself, however, it will be appropriate to briefly consider the relationship of the pelvis to the adjoining regions of the body: the abdominal cavity and the lower limb.
		Considering the close geographical relationship between the pelvis and the proximal part of the lower limb, it is logical that nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, and muscles passing to and from the limb must either pass through the pelvis, or very near it.
		Construct a facsimile of the inguinal ligament on your articulated pelvis by attaching a string to the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle.

	Learn About Renal Pelvis & Ureter Cancer
		Renal pelvis cancers are cancers that start in the middle of a kidney, where urine collects before going to the bladder.
		The ureters are tubes of tissue that connect the renal pelvis to the bladder.
		Renal pelvis and ureter cancers are diagnosed by the patient’s symptoms, medical history, physical exam, blood tests, xrays, and special tests of the urinary organs.

		Describe the inter-relationship of the pelvis, the lumbar spine, and the lower extremities for postural alignment and movement.
		A good image for aligning the pelvis while standing, is to imagine two plumb lines, or beams of light, dropping down from the sitz bones of the pelvis to the heels.
		As mentioned, the pelvis is the transition structure between the trunk and the lower extremity.

	Renal Pelvis Tumors Information on Healthline
		Renal pelvis tumors are rare kidney cancers appearing in a specific part of the kidney known as the pelvis of the kidney.
		The renal pelvis in each kidney is the portion of the collecting system of the kidney that empties into the ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
		The appearance of renal pelvis tumors is associated with a history of cigarette smoking and the overuse of certain pain medicines, as well as with a history of either urinary tract inflammation kidney stones, or bladder cancer.

	The pelvis: A keystone for yoga
		The pelvis is the keystone of our physical structure and the foundation of a centered yoga practice.
		Proper positioning of the pelvis and releasing, toning and lengthening the psoas muscle is an integral part of stabilizing the pelvis.
		Keeping the pelvis forward and stable may change the range of movement, but the stretch is deeper and you can isolate the stretch the psoas and iliacus muscle rather than pull on the pelvis.

	The Pelvis
		The pelvis is divided by an oblique plane passing through the prominence of the sacrum, the arcuate and pectineal lines, and the upper margin of the symphysis pubis, into the greater and the lesser pelvis.
		When the ligaments are in situ, the inferior aperture of the pelvis is lozenge-shaped, bounded, in front, by the pubic arcuate ligament and the inferior rami of the pubes and ischia; laterally, by the ischial tuberosities; and behind, by the sacrotuberous ligaments and the tip of the coccyx.
		The position of the pelvis in the erect posture may be indicated by holding it so that the anterior superior iliac spines and the front of the top of the symphysis pubis are in the same vertical plane.

	PELVIS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the infant the pelvis is narrow and nonsupportive.
		As the child begins walking, the pelvis broadens and tilts, the sacrum descends deeper into its articulation with the ilia, and the lumbar curve develops.
		The iiium is elongated and somewhat spoon-shaped, and the pelvis is oriented horizontally.

	CIGNA - Renal pelvis, transitional cell cancer: Treatment - Patient Information [NCI PDQ]
		Transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the renal pelvis and ureter.
		The renal pelvis is part of the kidney and the ureter connects the kidney to the bladder.
		After transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the renal pelvis and ureter or to other parts of the body.

	Text for Pelvis and Upper Thigh Anatomy Module
		This part of the colon is connected to the posterior abdominal wall from the splenic flexure to the pelvis.
		It is important during walking as it is responsible for the tilt of the pelvis.
		When the enervation to the muscle is injured such as in poliomyelitis, both the G. maximus and medius cannot pull the pelvis down during walking so that the pelvis falls down on the side that the foot is raised.

		False pelvis is the upper, broader part between the widely separated blades of the ilium, and is a part of the abdominal cavity.
		The anthropoid pelvis (so-called because this shape is seen in anthropoid apes) is somewhat oval, with the anteroposterior diameter being the greatest diameter of the inlet.
		In a gynaecoid pelvis the greatest diameter of the inlet is the transverse, that for the outlet is the anteroposterior.

		Your pelvis is joined to your spine at your sacrum - a bone made up of five fused vertebrae in the lower part of your spine.

	Fractures of the Pelvis (hip)
		In contrast, in elderly patients, treatment of fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum is largely nonsurgical.
		Insufficiency fractures of the acetabulum, pelvis, and sacrum are rare and occur primarily in postmenopausal women.
		Because the pelvis represents the link between the axial and appendicular skeleton, injuries to the pelvis are debilitating.
