Tab. \ THE PELVIC WALLS. 145 The pelvic inclination is the angle between the conjugata vera and a horizontal plane (about60 degrees). [The obliquity oj the pelvis varies in different individuals, is greater in the femalethan in the male, and is increased by hip-joint disease, particularly on standing. With a normalinclination of the pelvis the sacral promontory is about cm. (3A inches) above the upper borderof the symphysis and the tip of the coccyx is h to 1 inch above its lower border.—Wolsey.] Froma practical standpoint, it will be noted that, owing to the pelvic inclination, a wound passingthrough the abdominal wall horizontally above the symphysis may involve the filled bladder,the uterus, and the rectum, parts which are protected posteriorly by the bony pelvic wall (thesacrum). The true pelvis, our first path in life, and of more practical importance than the falsepelvis, is accessible in the female to the examining finger or to the entire hand, which may bein
