the mons pubis is the soft mound of fatty tissue at the front of the vulva, in the pubic region covering the pubic bone. 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. a variant term called the mons veneris ('mound of venus') is sometimes used specifically for women. the lower part of the mons pubis is divided by a fissure – the pudendal cleft – which separates the mons pubis into the labia majora. after puberty, the clitoral hood and the labia minora can protrude into the pudendal cleft in a variable degree. the mons and labia majora become covered in pubic hair at puberty.

forms the wide, strong, medial and flat portion of the pubic bone which unite in the pubic symphysis.









































the rough superior edge of the "corpus", the pubic crest, ends laterally in the pubic tubercle. this tubercle, found roughly 3 cm from the pubic symphysis, is a distinctive feature on the lower part of the abdominal wall; important when localizing the superficial inguinal ring and the femoral canal of the inguinal canal.
