The pubic bone is a part of the human skeleton located at the front of the pelvis. It is one of three bones that make up the pelvic girdle, along with the ilium and ischium. The pubic bone connects to the other side of the pelvis at the pubic symphysis, a joint that allows for slight movement. This bone plays a crucial role in supporting the body's weight when sitting and standing. It also provides attachment points for various muscles and ligaments, contributing to the stability and function of the hip joint and the lower body during movement.
