Pubis (bone)

The pubis (Latin pubis ) is a flat, angular bone and part of the basin. It is present on both sides, both pubic bones in the midline by the pubic symphysis ( pubic symphysis ) - a fibrocartilaginous connection - are connected, so that the pelvic bones can move slightly with each other. After the front - above the pubic bone is the ilium ( ilium ) and adherent bone down ( in animals to rear) with the ischium ( ischium ).

The pubic bone is the front part of the hip joint socket ( acetabulum ) forming the hip joint with the femur head. The front edge of the pubic bone is called the pubic bone comb ( pecten pubis ). To centerline, ie to go symphysis, he wears a hump ( pubic tubercle, in animals: pubic tubercle ventral ). On the other side of the pubic crest ends in a cusp ( iliopubic eminence ) on the border of the ilium. The pubis also limits the anterior arch of the muscles by (musculus obturator externus and internus ) " clogged hole " ( obturator foramen ).

In the veterinary anatomy of the acetabulum forming part of the pubic bone is called the pubic bone body (corpus pubis ), the indicated angles to the pelvic inlet stationary part as pubic ramus ( ramus of pubis).
