The historical background of pelvic studies proceeds from medieval and early Italian models to the definitive understanding of the pelvic anatomy in the Seventeenth century. During these eras of pelvic research, concepts and approaches developed that are illustrated with examples from comparative anatomy and from mutations, also with regard to the biomechanics of pelvic structures. Perceptions of the pelvis as an important element in sexual arousal and mating conduct are discussed, as well as attitudes to circumcision, castration and other mutilations, in its anthropological, social context.   The anatomy and physiology of the pelvic wall and its organs as well as the development of these pelvic organs are covered as a prerequisite to understanding, for example, the spread of pelvic carcinoma and male and female bladder muscle function. Connective pelvic tissue is examined in its reinforcing capacity for pelvic structures, but also as a ?hiding place? for infections. Innervations and reflexes relayed through the pelvic nerves are discussed in order to explain incontinence, sphincter function and the control of smooth and striated muscles in the pelvis.   Catheters and drugs acting on pelvic function are described, and a critical review of alternative clinical methods for treating pelvic dysfunctions is provided. 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aGynecology  606 $aHuman anatomy 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aGynecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H26006 606 $aAnatomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H12005 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aGynecology . 615 0$aHuman anatomy. 615 14$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aGynecology. 615 24$aAnatomy. 676 $a610 676 $a611 676 $a611.96 676 $a612 700 $aMarani$b Enrico$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0903945 702 $aKoch$b Wijnand F.R.M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298318403321 996 $aThe Pelvis$92498388 997 $aUNINA
