pubis

A paired endochondral bone making up the anteroventral region of the tripartite pelvic girdle forming part of the ventral edge of the acetabulum. The origin site of many proximal hindlimb muscles. [PHENOSCAPE:ad]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the pubis is

A paired endochondral bone making up the anteroventral region of the tripartite pelvic girdle forming part of the ventral edge of the acetabulum. The origin site of many proximal hindlimb muscles. [PHENOSCAPE:ad]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the pubis is

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the pubis connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of innominate bone, material anatomical entity and pelvic girdle skeleton, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pubis. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as os pubis, pubic bone and pubis bone. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the pubis?

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the pubis connect to?

Part of: innominate bone, material anatomical entity, pelvic girdle skeleton and bony pelvis.

Is the pubis the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
