"The body of the pubis (or pubic body) is flattened and has an anterior, posterior, and symphyseal surface."
"The superior pubic ramus is triangular in cross-section and has an anterior pectineal surface, a dorsosuperior pelvic surface and a downsloping obturator surface. The pectineal surface extends from iliopubic or iliopectineal eminence to the pubic tubercle bounded by the obturator crest in front and pecten pubis behind. The obturator surface exhibits an obturator groove along which the obturator vessels and nerves pass from the pelvis to the thigh. The pecten pubis is the sharp superior edge of the pectineal surface of the superior ramus of the pubis."

"The inferior pubic ramus has two surfaces, the anteroexternal surface facing the thigh and the posterointernal surface facing the perineum."
"The pubic tubercle is the crest of bone forming the medial attachment of the inguinal ligament and is crossed by the spermatic cord."

"The pubis (plural: pubes), together with the ilium and ischium, make up the innominate bone of the pelvis. These are individual bones in the young, which unite to form one bone in adults; the principal union forms the fused acetabulum."
"One ossification centre appears in the body of pubis at the prenatal 8th week, which fuses with the ossifying ischium to become a continuous ramus in the 7th or 8th year of life. The pubic tubercle, crest and symphyseal surface may have separate centres."
