In human anatomy, the pelvis (plural pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton). The sides of the male pelvis converge from the inlet to the outlet, whereas the sides of the female pelvis are wider apart. 2  The angle between the inferior pubic rami is acute (70 degrees) in men, but obtuse (90-100 degrees) in women. 3  Accordingly, the angle is called subpubic angle in men and pubic arch in women.
