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 numerous small furrows for the anterior branches of the middle meningeal vessels. Several small, irregular fossæ may also be seen on either side of the sagittal sulcus, for the reception of the arachnoid granulations. Squamous part of the frontal bone There are two surfaces of the squamous part of the frontal bone: the external surface, and the internal surface. The external surface is convex and usually exhibits, in the lower part of the middle line, the remains of the frontal suture; in infancy this suture divides the frontal bone into two and later fuses. A condition where fusion has not
