DISSECTION OF THE FEMALE PELVIS. 



Before beginning this dissection review the anatomy of the 

 bony pelvis. Compare the male and female pelvis, noting differ- 

 ences as regards pelvic diameters and the size and general 

 structure of the bones. What is the meaning of the terms 

 dolichopelvic, mesatipelvic, and platypelvic ? What is the ' ' pel- 

 vic index ' ' and how is it estimated ?

Before disturbing any relations establish exactly the position 

 of each viscus. What is the relation of the body of the uterus 

 to the bladder and to the rectum? Is the body of the uterus 

 flexed upon the neck of the uterus? Make frequent use of 

 models, cross-sections, and moist preparations in the further 

 study of these parts.
