Detailed explanation-1: -The pelvic cavity is a bowl-like structure that sits below the abdominal cavity. The true pelvis, or lesser pelvis, lies below the pelvic brim (Figure 1). This landmark begins at the level of the sacral promontory posteriorly and the pubic symphysis anteriorly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pelvic cavity is a funnel-shaped space surrounded by pelvic bones and it contains organs, such as the urinary bladder, rectum, and pelvic genitals, to name a few. The pelvic cavity and the abdominal cavity together form the larger abdominopelvic cavity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pelvic outlet also called the inferior pelvic aperture, defines the lower margin of the lesser (true) pelvis. The pelvic cavity (the true pelvis) predominantly contains the urinary bladder, the colon, and the internal reproductive organs. This space is enclosed between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic outlet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synonym: cavitas pelvis, cavum pelvis. Compare: abdominal cavity. See also: ventral body cavity, pelvis, abdominopelvic cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pelvic cavity is formed by three bilateral pairs of bones (pubis, ilium and ischium) and two posteriorly located bones (sacrum and coccyx). The cavity is home to the some of the urinary organs, most of the reproductive organs and the distal part of the digestive tract in humans.
