Szeméremcsonti

Szeméremcsonti is a Hungarian term that translates to "pubic bone" or "os pubis" in English. It refers to the bone located in the anterior part of the pelvis, forming the front of the pelvic girdle. In human anatomy, the pubic bone is one of the three bones that fuse to form each half of the pelvis, the other two being the ilium and the ischium. These three bones typically unite around the acetabulum, which is the socket for the hip joint.

The pubic bones from both sides of the pelvis meet at the midline anteriorly to form the pubic symphysis, a cartilaginous joint. This joint is more flexible in females, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth, due to hormonal influences. The pubic bone's structure provides an attachment point for various muscles, including those of the abdomen and thigh. It also protects the pelvic organs located within the pelvic cavity. The term "szeméremcsonti" is commonly used in medical and anatomical contexts in Hungarian.
