Body of pubic bone Body of pubic bone The body of pubic bone 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. Its "internal surface" enters into the formation of the wall of the lesser pelvis and gives origin to a portion
Squamous part of the frontal bone small aperture in the upper part of the notch transmits a vein from the diploë to join the supraorbital vein. The supraorbital margin ends laterally in the zygomatic process, which is strong and prominent, and articulates with the zygomatic bone. Running upward and backward from this process is a well-marked line, the temporal line, which divides into the upper and lower temporal lines, continuous, in the articulated skull, with the corresponding lines on the parietal bone. The area below and behind the temporal line forms the anterior part of the temporal fossa, and gives origin to the temporalis muscle. Between
