• \This structure comprises the space and content within the boundaries of the abdominopelvic cavity but excludes the walls that define and enclose the space. Previously SNOMED CT used the word 'compartment' to describe structures comprising the cavity and content but FMA has used the same word to include cavity, content and wall. As a consequence, the preferred notation is intra-abdominopelvic structure as this more clearly excludes the 'wall' structures. The intra-abdominopelvic structure is bounded by, but excludes the following 'wall' structures: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the pelvic diaphragm; anteriorly the anterior abdominal wall (including the lateral abdominal wall); and posteriorly the wall of the abdominal proper segment of trunk. The pelvic component consists of the cavity and content of the true pelvis, which is bounded by the pelvic wall. Note, the structures that form the boundaries are excluded.\Structure of cavity and/or content of pelvis (body structure)\This structure comprises the space and content within the boundaries of the cavity of the true pelvis (also known as the cavity of the minor or lesser pelvis) but excludes the walls that define and enclose the space. Previously SNOMED CT used the word 'compartment' to describe structures comprising the cavity and content but FMA has used the same word to include cavity, content and wall. As a consequence, the preferred notation is intra-abdominopelvic structure as this more clearly excludes the 'wall' structures. The intra-pelvic structure is bounded by, but excludes the following 'wall' structures: superiorly the superior pelvic aperture; inferiorly the inferior aperture of true pelvis and pelvic diaphragm; and laterally the pelvic wall. Note, the structures that form the boundaries are excluded. The content includes the urinary bladder, sigmoid colon (although it is acknowledged that this is mobile and sits in a variable location), rectum, anal canal, pelvic segment of ureter and the retropubic and presacral space; the female pelvis also includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, female urethra, soft tissues including the broad ligament and the retrouterine pouch of Douglas.; the male true pelvis also includes the prostate, male urethra, seminal vesicles, soft tissues including the pubovesical and puboprostatic ligaments and the retrovesical space.\Structure of serous membrane of pelvic peritoneum\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck

• \This structure is comprised of the anterior and posterior abdominal wall.\The anterior abdominal wall constitutes a hexagonal area defined superiorly by the costal margins and xiphoid process; and inferiorly by the iliac crests, inguinal ligament, pubis and pubic symphysis. The wall extends posteriorly and incorporates the lateral aspect of the wall until the junction with the posterior abdominal wall approximately at the mid-axillary line. The wall is covered externally by skin and subcutaneous tissue: beneath this lies the superficial fascia (between the dermis and the muscles), which is conventionally divided into a superficial fatty layer (Camper's fascia) and a deep membranous layer (Scarpa's fascia); deep fascia; the rectus abdominis, pyramidalis, external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominis; and the extraperitoneal tissue and the parietal peritoneum. These tissues also form the umbilicus and the inguinal canal, which connects the abdominal cavity to the scrotum in males and the labia majora in females.\Structure of lateral half of anterior abdominal wall\Inguinal canal structure\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck
• \An anatomical structure that consists of the maximal set of organ parts so connected to one another that together they constitute a self-contained unit of macroscopic anatomy, distinct both morphologically and functionally from other such units. Together with other organs, an organ constitutes an organ system or a body part. An organ is divisible into organ parts but not organs (examples: femur, biceps, liver, heart, aorta, sciatic nerve, ovary).\Serous sac structure\Peritoneal sac structure\Structure of serous membrane of peritoneum (body structure)\Structure of serous membrane of pelvic peritoneum\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck

The wall extends posteriorly and incorporates the lateral aspect of the wall until the junction with the posterior abdominal wall approximately at the mid-axillary line. The wall is covered externally by skin and subcutaneous tissue: beneath this lies the superficial fascia (between the dermis and the muscles), which is conventionally divided into a superficial fatty layer (Camper's fascia) and a deep membranous layer (Scarpa's fascia); deep fascia; the rectus abdominis, pyramidalis, external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominis; and the extraperitoneal tissue and the parietal peritoneum. These tissues also form the umbilicus and the inguinal canal, which connects the abdominal cavity to the scrotum in males and the labia majora in females.\Structure of lateral half of anterior abdominal wall\Inguinal canal structure\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck

The content includes the urinary bladder, sigmoid colon (although it is acknowledged that this is mobile and sits in a variable location), rectum, anal canal, pelvic segment of ureter and the retropubic and presacral space; the female pelvis also includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, female urethra, soft tissues including the broad ligament and the retrouterine pouch of Douglas.; the male true pelvis also includes the prostate, male urethra, seminal vesicles, soft tissues including the pubovesical and puboprostatic ligaments and the retrovesical space.\Structure of serous membrane of pelvic peritoneum\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck
• \Body region structure\Body part structure\Trunk structure (body structure)\Structure of subregion of trunk (body structure)\This segment relates to the volume of the trunk that is bounded by and includes: superiorly thoracic diaphragm and inferiorly the perineum and external genitalia. The volume includes the entire transverse thickness of the body over the longitudinal extent between these upper (superior) and lower (inferior) boundaries including the overlying muscles, skin and subcutaneous tissue. The segment includes the abdominopelvic cavity, contents and wall including the posterior lumbar region, the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities including the bony pelvis and pelvic wall, the entire perineum and external genitalia including skin and subcutaneous tissue.\This cross-sectional segment is bounded superiorly by a virtual horizontal plane at the level of the plane traversing the superior boundary of the iliac crest; and inferiorly it extends to the perineum and includes part but not necessarily the entire external genitalia. The segment includes the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities (and also part of the lower abdominal volume below the level of the virtual superior boundary). The volume includes the entire transverse thickness of the body over the longitudinal extent between the superior (upper) and inferior (lower) boundaries including the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The segment relates to the cross-sectional or projectional volume as perceived by transmissive or emissive imaging.\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.\True pelvis\Pelvic extragenital structures\Structure of serous membrane of pelvic peritoneum\Processus vaginalis peritonei structure\Structure of canal of Nuck

The volume includes the entire transverse thickness of the body over the longitudinal extent between these upper (superior) and lower (inferior) boundaries including the overlying muscles, skin and subcutaneous tissue. The segment includes the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities including the bony pelvis and pelvic wall and the entire perineum and external genitalia. Note, the entire bony pelvis is included within the pelvic segment (but is excluded from the abdomen proper segment of trunk); however the pelvic segment of trunk and the abdomen proper segment of trunk both include the volume of the false pelvis.\Structure of pelvic segment of trunk of female (body structure)\Female genital structure\Structure of canal of Nuck
