The pelvic diaphragm forms the inferior boundary between which regions?

Explanation:
The pelvic diaphragm acts as the floor of the pelvic cavity, forming the boundary between the pelvis and the perineum. This muscular shelf, mainly the levator ani group with coccygeus, closes the pelvic outlet and supports pelvic organs, separating the pelvic cavity (above) from the perineal region (below). The boundary between abdomen and pelvis is at the pelvic inlet (not the pelvic floor), the perineum lies below the diaphragm, and the uterus and vagina both reside within the pelvis, not at the boundary defined by the pelvic floor.
