Female pelvis, X-ray
Female pelvis. Coloured X-ray of the pelvis of a woman. The lowest lumbar vertebra of the spinal column (top centre) forms a joint with the sacrum. The sacrum forms the back of the pelvis (upper centre) and is connected to the large ear-shaped hip bones (upper centre, left and right). Each hip bone is formed from three fused bones and accommodates the ball of the head of each femur (thigh bone, centre left and right), forming the hip joints. Compared to an adult male pelvis, the adult female pelvis is wider and shallower

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a female pelvis, as captured by an X-ray machine. The image reveals the colorful representation of the pelvic region in a woman's body. At the top center, we can observe the lowest lumbar vertebra of the spinal column forming a joint with the sacrum. The sacrum, located at the upper center, forms the back of the pelvis and is connected to two large ear-shaped hip bones on either side. These hip bones are composed of three fused bones and serve as support for each femur or thigh bone which rests within them. These connections form vital hip joints that enable movement and flexibility in this area. A notable distinction between male and female pelvises is highlighted here - adult females possess wider and shallower pelvic structures compared to their male counterparts. The significance of this detailed anatomical knowledge extends beyond mere curiosity; it plays a crucial role in various fields such as biology, diagnostics, and medical research. This false-colored X-ray provides valuable insights into understanding human anatomy while aiding healthcare professionals in diagnosing potential issues related to this region. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this stunning image that beautifully combines artistry with scientific precision, offering viewers an opportunity to marvel at our complex biological framework.
