Pelvic Anatomy Lab

13 of 18 structures modelledStanford EdTech model

The bony pelvis, bladder, rectum, uterus and vagina, tubes, ovaries, ligaments, pelvic floor and vulva of a painted anatomical model (Female Reproductive System, Stanford EdTech, CC BY 4.0), each a separate mesh in its true place. Separate the neighbours, open the midline, bring in the full-term placenta, and click any structure for where it leads in the platform. A still from the model stands in where WebGL is not available.

Beside the model

The model is a sculpt of the non-pregnant pelvis and carries no endometrium, gravid uterus or fetus. Plates whose provenance is as clear as the model's fill those in: a labelled sagittal drawing, William Hunter's gravid uterus of 1774, and Gray's broad ligament laid out flat.

  • The sagittal pelvis, drawn: the vagina, pelvic floor and pouches that the atlas does not model.

  • Hunter's gravid uterus, 1774: the term fetus in its natural situation, drawn from dissection.

  • Gray's Anatomy plate of the uterus and right broad ligament from behind, the broad ligament spread out and the ovary drawn down, with the ligament of the ovary, uterine tube, epoophoron and fimbria labelled
