The angle at which they converge is known as the subpubic angle . External links As seen in the picture to the right, there is a distinctive difference between the pubic arch of a male and a female. This difference is found in the subpubic angle. The area in which the pubic arch is located is the pelvis, the area that is most different between male and female anatomy. The subpubic angle of a man is around 90 degrees while that of a woman is around 120 degrees. The reason for this difference has to do with childbirth. A woman s pubic arch is wider in order to allow for the passage of the child during birth. The pelvic inlet of a female is also wider because the child s head must pass through it.

It owes its flexibility and toughness to the former of these constituents, and its elasticity to the latter. It is the only type of cartilage that contains type I collagen in addition to the normal type II. Fibrocartilage is found in the pubic symphysis , the Annulus fibrosus disci intervertebralis annulus fibrosus of intervertebral disc s, meniscus anatomy meniscus , and the TMJ . During childbirth labor , relaxin loosens the pubic symphysis to aid in delivery, but this can lead to later joint problems. Formation as a repair mechanism If hyaline cartilage is torn all the way down to the bone, the blood supply from inside the bone is sometimes enough to start some healing inside the lesion. In cases like this, the body will form a scar in the area using a special type of cartilage called fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is a tough, dense, fibrous material that helps fill in the torn part of the cartilage. Yet it s not an ideal replacement for the smooth, glassy articular cartilage that normally covers the surface of the knee joint.

Infobox Bone Name Pelvic inlet Latin apertura pelvis superior GraySubject 58 GrayPage 239 Image Gray238.png Caption Diameters of superior aperture of lesser pelvis female . Image2 Caption2 System MeshName MeshNumber DorlandsPre a 51 DorlandsSuf 12144724 The pelvic inlet or superior aperture of the pelvis is a planar surface which is typically used to define the boundary between the pelvic cavity and the abdominal cavity or, according to some authors, between two parts of the pelvic cavity, called lesser pelvis and greater pelvis . Its position and orientation relative to the skeleton of the pelvis is anatomically defined by its edge, the pelvic brim . The pelvic brim is an approximately apple shaped line passing through the prominence of the sacrum , the Arcuate line ilium arcuate and pectineal line pubis pectineal line s, and the upper margin of the pubic symphysis . Occasionally, the terms pelvic inlet and pelvic brim are used interchangeably. Boundaries The edge of the pelvic inlet pelvic brim is formed as follows class wikitable Anteriorly BR by the pubic crest or pubic symphysis Laterally BR by the iliopectineal line same as other side Posteriorly BR by the anterior margin of the base of the sacrum or the ala of sacrum and sacrovertebral angle or sacral promontory Diameters diamaters redirect here It has three principal diameters antero posterior conjugate , transverse, and oblique. class wikitable Name Description Average measurement in female anteroposterior or conjugate diameter or conjugata vera extends from the sacrovertebral angle promontorium to the pubic symphysis about 110 mm. transverse diameter extends across the greatest width of the superior aperture, from the middle of the brim on one side to the same point on the opposite about 135 mm. oblique diameter extends from the iliopectineal eminence of one side to the sacroiliac articulation of the opposite side about 125 mm.

Infobox Muscle Name Pyramidalis muscle Latin musculus pyramidalis GraySubject 118 GrayPage 416 Image Gray397.png Caption The Transversus abdominis , Rectus abdominis , and Pyramidalis. Pyramidalis labeled at bottom center. Origin pubic symphysis and pubic crest Insertion Linea alba abdomen linea alba Blood Nerve Subcostal nerve T12 Action tensing the Linea alba abdomen linea alba DorlandsPre m 22 DorlandsSuf 12550348 The pyramidalis is a small and triangular muscle, anterior to the Rectus abdominis , and contained in the rectus sheath . Attachments and actions Inferiorly, it attaches to the pelvis in two places the pubic symphysis and pubic crest , arising by tendinous fibers from the anterior part of the pubis bone pubis and the anterior pubic ligament . Superiorly, the fleshy portion of the muscle passes upward, diminishing in size as it ascends, and ends by a pointed extremity which is inserted into the Linea alba abdomen linea alba , midway between the Navel umbilicus and pubis bone pubis . Therefore, when contracting, it has the function of tensing the Linea alba abdomen linea alba . Variations It is absent in 20 of normal humans. This muscle may be absent on one or both sides the lower end of the rectus then becomes proportionately increased in size. Occasionally it is double on one side, and the muscles of the two sides are sometimes of unequal size. It may extend higher than the usual level. Innervation The muscle is innervated by the ventral portion of T12. Surgical Landmark While making the longitudinal inscision for a classical caesarean section the pyramidalis is used to determine midline and location of the linea alba.
