Pánevní

Pánevní is a term of Slavic origin that generally refers to something pertaining to the pelvis. In anatomy, it most commonly relates to the pelvic bone, the structure that connects the spine to the legs. This bony ring is formed by the two hip bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis), the sacrum, and the coccyx. The pelvis serves to support the trunk of the body and protect the organs within the pelvic cavity, such as the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum.

The term "pánevní" might also be used in other contexts within Slavic languages. For example, it could describe conditions or issues related to the pelvic region. In medicine, this might include pain in the pelvic area, pelvic floor dysfunction, or injuries to the pelvic bones. The specific meaning can often be inferred from the surrounding context in which the word is used. Its etymology directly links it to the word for "basin" or "pan," which is a visual metaphor for the shape of the pelvic structure.
