What muscles support the pelvis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think @mhannahw

Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. The pelvic organs are the bladder and bowel in men, and bladder, bowel and uterus in women. The diagram below shows the pelvic organs and pelvic floor muscles in women (right) and men (left).

I was thinking more along the lines of abdominals, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles, or, if you think about what the muscles that may surround the pelvis, the sacrum, coccyx, and femur muscles? Not sure which set of muscles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sacrum, coccyx, and femur muscles are correct
