Pelve

Calcium phosphate may form gravel and small calculi in the pelve of the kidney; the calculi are smooth and facetted, and of various de grees of hardness.

The pregnancy had reached term. The fetal head was plunged in the pelve for a greater part; the back was found in the left part of the womans abdomen; heart-beats were not heard.

The pubis was often chopped off from the pelve at Wardell (Pl. 7e, f), a method which was rarely used at Glenrock. The reason is unclear, although it may have been done to break the connection between the pelves at the pubis symphysis.

The pelve is wider, and so is its pelvic inlet bone.
