pubis
male vs. female pelvis
male pelvis
tilted less far forward; adapted for support of male's heavier build and stronger muscles; cavity of true pelvis is narrow and deep

thicker and heavier bones; markings are more prominent

acetabula is larger and closer

pubic angle is more acute (50-60°)
female pelvis
tilted forward; adapted for childbearing; true pelvis defines birth canal; cavity of the true pelvis is broad, shallow, and has greater capacity

thinner, lighter, and smoother bones

acetabula is smaller and farther apart

pubic angle is broader (80-90°); more rounded
