The mons pubis is a soft mound of fatty tissue in the pubic region covering the pubic bone. [3] Mons pubis is Latin for "pubic mound" and is present in both sexes to act as a cushion during sexual intercourse , and is more pronounced in the female. [ 4 ]
The urogenital triangle is the area bound by a triangle with one vertex at the pubic symphysis and the two other vertices at the iliac tuberosities of the pelvic bone. Components [ edit ]
The perineal raphe is a visible line or ridge of tissue on the body that extends from the anus through the perineum to the scrotum (male) or the vulva (female). It is found in both males and females, arises from the fusion of the urogenital folds, and is visible running medial through anteroposterior, to the anus where it resolves in a small knot of skin of varying size.
The angle between the inferior pubic rami is acute (70 degrees) in men, but obtuse (90–100 degrees) in women. Accordingly, the angle is called subpubic angle in men and pubic arch in women. [10] Additionally, the bones forming the angle/arch are more concave in females but straight in males. [13]
Although present in both men and women, the mons pubis tends to be larger in women. [1] [6] Its fatty tissue is sensitive to estrogen, causing a distinct mound to form with the onset of female puberty. [4] [6] [7] [8] This pushes the forward portion of the labia majora out and away from the pubic bone. The mound also becomes covered with pubic ...
The subpubic angle (or pubic angle) is the angle in the human body as the apex of the pubic arch, formed by the convergence of the inferior rami of the ischium and pubis on either side. The subpubic angle is important in forensic anthropology, in determining the sex of someone from skeletal remains. A subpubic angle of 50–82 degrees indicates ...
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
In females, the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and upper vagina occupy the area between the other viscera. [1] [2] The rectum is located at the back of the pelvis, in the curve of the sacrum and coccyx; the bladder is in front, behind the pubic symphysis. The pelvic cavity also contains major arteries, veins, muscles, and nerves.
