2. LIMITS

   • LESSER PELVIS
     • Is a short, curved canal, deeper on its posterior than on its anterior wall
     • Posteriorly: Sacrum and coccyx
     • Laterally and anteriorly: Lower ilium, ischium and pubis bones
   • GREATER PELVIS
     • Supports the intestines and transmits part of their weight to the anterior wall of abdomen.
     • Posteriorly: Lumbar vertebrae
     • Laterally: Iliac bones
     • Anteriorly: Abdominal wall
