Editing Human skeleton (section)

===Pelvis===
The human pelvis exhibits greater sexual dimorphism than other bones, specifically in the size and shape of the [[pelvic cavity]], [[Ilium (bone)|ilia]], greater sciatic notches, and the sub-pubic angle. The [[Phenice method]] is commonly used to determine the sex of an unidentified human skeleton by anthropologists with 96% to 100% accuracy in some populations.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/ajpa.1330300214 |title=A newly developed visual method of sexing the os pubis |year=1969 |last1=Phenice |first1=T.

Women's pelvises are wider in the pelvic inlet and are wider throughout the pelvis to allow for child birth. The [[sacrum]] in the women's pelvis is curved inwards to allow the child to have a "[[funnel]]" to assist in the child's pathway from the uterus to the [[birth canal]].
