The Pelvic Cavity
Captions available
The idea
The pelvic cavity is the lowest division of the ventral cavity, enclosed by the pelvic bones and containing the bladder and reproductive organs.
In practice
The pelvic cavity is continuous with the abdominal cavity above it.
Where people slip
Because no wall separates them, records often use the single term abdominopelvic.
