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.
