What is the Pelvis?

The pelvis is a special part of our body that looks like a bowl. It is located below our belly and supports our organs, like our bladder and intestines. Think of the pelvis as a strong seat that holds everything up!

Why is the Pelvis Important?

• Support: The pelvis helps keep our important organs in place, so they don't move around too much.
• Protection: It acts like a shield to protect some organs from getting hurt.
• Movement: The pelvis helps us walk, run, and jump by connecting our legs to our body!

What Does It Look Like?

Imagine a bowl turned upside down. That’s what your pelvis looks like! It's made up of several bones that are strong and help hold everything together.

How Does It Help Us?

When we play, our pelvis helps us move. It allows us to bend, twist, and jump. Without a healthy pelvis, it wouldn’t be easy to do all the fun things we love!

Fun Fact!

The pelvis is not just found in people; it is also in many animals. They all have a pelvis that helps them with movement and supports their bodies!
