Document Summary

Pelvic inlet (superior pelvic aperture) is bounded by the linea terminalis of the pelvis, which is formed by the. Superior margin of the pubic symphysis anteriorly.

Pelvic outlet (inferior pelvic aperture) is bounded by the. Inferior rami of the pubis and ischial tuberosities anterolaterally. Forensic osteology - skeletal remains solving homicides in humans looking at the pelvis. Table 3. 1 comparison of male and female bony pelves.
