This life size three part model represents an original cast of a bony female pelvis with ligaments and shows all the details of the following anatomical structures:
Two hip bones
the pubic symphysis
the sacrum and the coccyx
the fifth lumbar vertebra with intervertebral disc
A midsagital section through the fifth lumbar vertebra, sacrum and coccyx, allow both halves of the pelvis to be disassembled revealing a part of the cauda equina in the vertebral canal. The left half of the fifth lumbar vertebra is removable.
The right half of the model shows the following pelvic ligaments:
inguinal ligament
sacrotuberous ligament
sacrospinous ligament
anterior sacroiliac ligaments
iliolumbar ligament
anterior longitudinal ligament
interosseous sacroiliac ligament
posterior sacroiliac ligament
obturator membrane
This anatomically detailed model is a great way to teach and learn the anatomy of the human female pelvis.
