Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The ischial spines that form the posterior border of the ischium represent the shortest diameter of the pelvic cavity. They are used as landmarks to determine the descent of the baby's head.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The gynecoid pelvis has a wide pubic arch; more movable coccyx; and better proportioned inlet, cavity, and outlet than other pelvic shapes.
