Definition[Bearbeiten]
The pubic bone, also called os pubis, is a bone of the pelvic girdle (cingulum membri pelvini) of domestic mammals and part of the hip bone (os coxae).
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The following sections of the pubic bone can be distinguished:
- Corpus ossis pubis (pubic body): between corpus ossis ilii and ramus cranialis ossis pubis
- Ramus cranialis ossis pubis (acetabular branch): transverse, adjoins the symphysis pubica
- Ramus caudalis ossis pubis (joint branch): located paramedian, runs along the symphysis pubica
The pubic bone borders the foramen obturatum (blocked hole) cranially with the body, the acetabular branch and medially with the caudal branch. The symphysis symphysialis of the symphysis pubica is in contact with that of the opposite side and continues caudally into the ischial ramus (ramus ossis ischii).
The cranial edge of the glenoid branch is also known as the pubic crest (pecten ossis pubis). The iliopubic crest (eminentia iliopubica) rises laterally from this edge and the ventral pubic tuberosity (tuberculum pubicum ventrale), which is formed by both pubic bones, rises medially.
