Areas of the Pelvis

This section covers one main area of the pelvis, the perineum.

Located between the thighs, it acts as the inferior outlet of the pelvis. It is formed by its anatomical borders: anteriorly by the pubic symphysis, posteriorly by the coccyx and laterally by some of the bones and ligaments of the pelvis.

The skin of the perineum is supplied by the pudendal nerve, with nerve roots S2-S4, and the internal pudendal artery, which originates from the internal iliac artery.

In this section, learn more about the anatomy of the perineum.
