Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The male skeleton differs from the female skeleton in several ways: it generally has heavier bones, rougher and larger tuberosities and ridges due to the attachment of stronger muscles, and a heart-shaped pelvic inlet, as opposed to the wider, circular pelvic inlet of females. These differences are related to the distinct biological and reproductive roles of males and females.
