Detailed explanation-1: -The pelvis is divided into the greater and lesser pelvis by an oblique plane that passes through the prominence of the sacrum, the arcuate and pectineal lines, and the upper margin of the symphysis pubis (Netter, 2010). The circumference of this plane is named the linea terminalis or pelvic brim.
Detailed explanation-2: -Divisions of the pelvic splanchnic (parasympathetic), sacral splanchnic (sympathetic), and the inferior hypogastric plexuses also have branches that supply the viscera of the pelvis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greater and lesser pelvis: The greater pelvis (yellow) is larger and superior to the lesser pelvis (red) where the pelvic inlet is located. The true pelvis contains the pelvic colon, rectum, bladder, and some of the reproductive organs.
