List the functions of the pelvic girdle.

1)bear the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing 2) transfer that weight from the axial to the lower appendicular skeleton for standing and walking and 3) provide attachment for the powerful muscles of locomotion and posture and those of the abdominal wall, withstanding the forces generated by their actions. 4) contain and protect the pelvic viscera (e.g. parts of the urinary reproductive and digestive systems), 5) provide support of the abdominopelvic viscera and gravid uterus, 6) provide attachment for the erectile bodies of the external genitalia, and 7) provide attachment for the muscles and membranes that assist the functions listed above by forming the pelvic floor and filling gaps that exist around it.
