| kyphoscoliotic pelvis | A pelvis with marked anteroposterior curvature of the spine combined with lateral spinal curvature, usually due to severe rickets. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| kyphotic pelvis | Backward curvature of the lumbar spine causing contraction of pelvic measurements. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flat pelvis | A pelvis in which the anteroposterior diameter is uniformly contracted, the sacrum being dislocated forward between the iliac bones. Synonym: pelvis plana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pelvis | The expanded portion of the pelvis above the brim. Synonym: pelvis major, false pelvis, large pelvis, pelvis spuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frozen pelvis | A condition in which the true pelvis is indurated throughout, especially by carcinoma. Synonym: hardened pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funnel-shaped pelvis | A pelvis in which the pelvic inlet dimensions are normal, but the outlet is contracted in the transverse or in both transverse and anteroposterior diameters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser pelvis | The cavity of the pelvis below the brim or superior aperture. Synonym: pelvis minor, pelvis vera, small pelvis, true pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum transversum pelvis | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| abdominal pressure | Pressure surrounding the bladder; estimated from rectal, gastric, or intraperitoneal pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute pressure | Pressure measured with respect to zero pressure. Compare: gauge pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic pressure | In ultrasound, the instantaneous value of the total pressure minus the ambient pressure; unit is pascal (Pa). (05 Mar 2000) |
| air pressure | The force per unit area that the air exerts on any surface in contact with it. Primarily used for articles pertaining to air pressure within a closed environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atmospheric pressure | The pressure at any point in an atmosphere due solely to the weight of the atmospheric gases above the point concerned. (12 Dec 1998) |
