pubis
The pubis, also known as the pubic bone, is one of the three major bones that constitute the pelvis. It is located in the lower part of the body, anteriorly, underneath the abdomen. The pubis forms the lower front part of the hip bone and is separated from its pair on the opposite side by a joint and supporting ligaments. This anatomical structure is important as it helps support the weight of the body when sitting or standing and protects the pelvic organs.
Webster Dictionary
Pubisnoun
the ventral and anterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis; sharebone; pubic bone
Etymology: [NL. See Pubes.]

Pubis
In vertebrates, the pubic bone is the ventral and anterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis. It is covered by a layer of fat, which is covered by the mons pubis. It is divisible into a body, a superior ramus and an inferior ramus. The body forms one-fifth of the acetabulum, contributing by its external surface both to the lunate surface and the acetabular fossa. Its internal surface enters into the formation of the wall of the lesser pelvis and gives origin to a portion of the obturator internus. In the female, the pubic bone is anterior to the urethral sponge. The left and right hip bones join at the pubic symphysis. The pubis is the lower limit of the suprapubic region.
