In vertebrates, the pubis or pubic bone (Latin: os pubis) forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone. The pubis is the most forward-facing

The pubic symphysis (pl.: symphyses) is a secondary cartilaginous joint between the left and right superior rami of the pubis of the hip bones. It is in

of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis. The two hip bones join at the pubic symphysis and together with the sacrum and coccyx (the pelvic part

the pubic bone. Increased androgen activity can cause the skin of the mons pubis to be covered with coarse pubic hair. During menopause, the pubic hair

The pubic tubercle is a prominent tubercle on the superior ramus of the pubis bone of the pelvis. The pubic tubercle is a prominent forward-projecting

Medial to the pubic tubercle is the pubic crest, which extends from this process to the medial end of the pubic bone. It gives attachment to the conjoint

midline structure anchoring the penis to the pubic symphysis, holding the penis close to the pubic bone and supporting it during erection. The ligament

pelvic girdle consists of the two hip bones. The hip bones are connected to each other anteriorly at the pubic symphysis, and posteriorly to the sacrum

head, when the baby's anterior shoulder is obstructed by the mother's pubic bone. It is typically diagnosed when the baby's shoulders fail to deliver despite

extension of the lacunar ligament. It runs on the pectineal line of the pubic bone. The pectineal ligament is the posterior border of the femoral ring. The
