Pubic bone

The os pubis consists of three parts:


 * The body, the corpus ossis pubis, is located at the symphysis and thus participates in the ventral boundary of the foramen obturatum;
 * the upper arm, the ramus superior, connects the symphysis with the acetabulum;
 * The lower arm, the ramus inferior, continues caudally from the symphysis and dorsally, meeting the ramus ossis ischii.

Structures of the pubic bone

 * Facies symphisialis
 * a roughened patch on the ventromedial side of the bone, to which the pubic symphysis is attached


 * Symphisis pubica
 * which connects the right and left pubic bone


 * Pecten ossi pubis
 * pubic crest, cranial


 * Pubic tubercle
 * symphysis bump, pubic ridge ending


 * Sulcus obturatorius
 * groove on the ramus superior, through which the eponymous nerve and blood vessels run


 * Phalica crest
 * Rough line ventromedially to the ramus inferior, here clamp erectile bodies in both sexes, in men it is more noticeable.
