Detailed explanation-1: -The pelvic inlet is oval shaped and is widest from side to side. It divides the bony pelvis into the false pelvis above (made up mainly of the ala of the ilium on each side which forms the lower lateral portion of the abdomen), and the true pelvis below (the pelvic cavity ).
Detailed explanation-2: -The pelvic inlet in males tends to be more heart-shaped (narrower on the dorsal side) and the pelvic outlet tends to be more narrow. The pubic arch, found immediately inferior to the pubic symphysis, tends to form an angle closer to 90° in females, but forms an angle closer to 60° in males.
