Chapter 3: Pelvis and Perineum
Metropolitan cities are concentrated networks of people, infrastructure and business. Similarly, the pelvis is a hyper organized region of the body which contains the intersection of different kinds of tissues, organs, muscles, nerves and vasculature.
The pelvic region is also one of the most distinguishable sex-defining areas of the body, as it houses the reproductive organs. The pelvic region also houses the distal ends of the digestive system, the tail end of the spinal cord making this one the most packed and understandably complicated regions of the human anatomy.
Yet like a complex city it can be broken down into smaller parts and made clear.
