This structure, also termed the pelvic region, includes the wall, cavity and content of both the true and false pelvis; it consequently incorporates the entire bony pelvis; and inferiorly it is bounded and includes the pelvic diaphragm. The structure incorporates the complete pelvic wall; sacrococcygeal region (including the overlying skin and subcutaneous tissue); the contents of the false pelvic cavity; but in contrast to the 'pelvic segment of trunk' excludes the perineum, external genitalia.
