Welcome to yet another wonderful quiz on human anatomy, a study which analyses, well, you! All of the organs, tissue and functions that make up the human body is covered under the topic of anatomy and today we’ll be taking a closer look at one of these particular areas – the pelvic region! Take the following quiz to find out what you know so far about the pelvic veins and more!
The external iliac vein lies medial to the external iliac artery
The external iliac veins join to form the inferior vena cava
The inferior vena cava cannot be imaged
Pelvic veins are usually imaged using an arteriogram
Coccyx
Ischial spine
Ischial tuberosity
Obturator canal
Pectineal line
Along with the pelvic brim, it defines the true pelvic cavity
It is a funnel-shaped skeletal muscle
It is referred to as the pelvic diaphragm
It is tensed during defecation
It projects into the anal triangle
