Abdominopelvic
Relating to the abdomen (belly) and pelvis, especially the combination of the abdomen and pelvic cavities (openings). The pelvis is a massive bone made of hip bones on each side and the front, while the back part is made of the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum is a large triangle shaped bone in the lower part of the spine. Abdominopelvic comes from the Latin word “abdomen” meaning “belly,” and the Latin word "pelvis" meaning "basin." Put the two words together and you have "belly basin."
