what is pubis

The pubis, also known as the pubic bone, is a bone in the pelvis that forms the bottom of the pelvic girdle). It is the most forward-facing of the three bones that make up the hip bone). The left and right pubic bones are each made up of three sections: a superior ramus, inferior ramus, and a body). The pubis provides attachment for various muscles, including the rectus abdominus muscle, pectineus muscle, pyramidalis muscle, pubococcygeus muscle, and the adductor muscles of the thigh. Additionally, it forms the anterior boundary of the perineum and provides an anterior bony border for the urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs. The pubic symphysis is a joint that connects the left and right pelvic bones to make one pelvis that is strong enough to support the body but able to stretch during childbirth.
