Pubic bone

Os pubis
HE	A02.5.01.301
Articulating bones	druhostranná os pubis, acetabulum, os ischii
Type of articulation	symphysis pubica- cartilaginous connection

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.

Pelvic bones: 1 – os sacrum , 2 – os ilium , 3 – os ischii , 4 – os pubis

Structures of the pubic bone[edit | edit source]

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.
