Thelinea terminalis orinnominate line consists of the pubic crest,pectineal line (pecten pubis), thearcuate line, the sacral ala, and thesacral promontory.[1]
It is thepelvic brim, which is the edge of thepelvic inlet. The pelvic inlet is typically used to divide theabdominopelvic cavity into anabdominal (above the inlet) and apelvic cavity (below the inlet). Sometimes, the pelvis cavity is considered to extend above the pelvic inlet, and in this case the pelvic inlet is used to divide the pelvic cavity into afalse (above the inlet) and atrue pelvis (below the inlet).
