In human anatomy, the groin, also known as the inguinal region or iliac region, [1] is the junctional area between the torso and the thigh. [2] The groin is at the front of the body on either side of the pubic tubercle , where the lower part of the abdominal wall meets the thigh.
the abdominal region encompassing the stomach area; the umbilical region is located around the navel; the coxal region encompassing the lateral (side) of hips; the pubic region encompassing the area above the genitals. The pelvis and legs contain, from superior to inferior, the inguinal or groin region between the thigh and the abdomen,
In human anatomy, and in mammals in general, the mons pubis or pubic mound (also known simply as the mons / m ɒ n z /, and known specifically in females as the mons Venus or mons veneris) [1] [2] is a rounded mass of fatty tissue found over the pubic symphysis of the pubic bones.
However, the surface anatomy of the point is disputed. In a recent study, [8] it was found to be in a region between the mid-inguinal point (situated midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis) and the midpoint of the inguinal ligament (i.e. midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle ...
The semantic field of the term crotch is sometimes expanded to include objects which have a similar shape to the anatomical human crotch. [9] This may include botanical structures such as the area where tree branches are joined together [10] or mechanical structures which fork or branch or where ramification takes place. [11]
With hands on hips, slowly bend sideways towards the left to feel a stretch at the inner thigh and groin area. Keep back flat and chest facing forward as you hold this position for 30 seconds.
The Apollo's belt, also known as Adonis belt, or iliac furrows, is a part of the human anatomy referring to the two shallow grooves of the human abdomen running from the iliac crest (hip bone) to the pubis. The shape of the grooves are formed by the inguinal ligament. [1]
The inguinal ligament (/ ˈ ɪ ŋ ɡ w ɪ n ə l / [1] [2]), also known as Poupart's ligament or groin ligament, is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the inguinal canal through which an indirect inguinal hernia may develop.
