mons pubis
(noun)
A fleshy protuberance over the pubic bones that becomes covered with hair during puberty.
Examples of mons pubis in the following topics:
-
Female Reproductive Anatomy
- Among the external structures are the vulva, which consists of the mons pubis, clitoris, labia majora, labia minora, and the vestibular glands.
- The mons pubis is a round, fatty area that overlies the pubic symphysis.
- The labia majora are a pair of elongated folds of tissue that run posterior from the mons pubis and enclose the other components of the vulva.
- The mons pubis and the anterior portion of the labia majora become covered with hair during adolescence; the labia minora is hairless.
-
Vulva
- The soft mound at the front of the vulva, the mons pubis, is formed by fatty tissue covering the pubic bone.
- The mons pubis separates into two folds of skin called the labia majora, literally "major (or large) lips."
- After the onset of puberty, the mons pubis and the labia majora become covered by pubic hair.
-
Pubis
- The pubis is the lowest and most anterior portion of the hip bones of the pelvis.
- The pubic bone is covered by a layer of fat that is covered by the mons pubis.
- The body of the pubis is a wide, strong, medial, and flat portion of the pubic bone that unites with the pubic symphisis.
- The inferior pubic ramus is a thin and flat bone that makes up one third of the pubis.
- (1) sacrum, (2) ilium, (3) ischium, (4) pubis: 4a-body; 4b-superior ramus; 4c-inferior ramus, (5) pubic symphisis, (6) acetabulum, (7) obturator foramen, (8) coccyx, (red dotted line) linea terminalis.

Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System
- The external components include the mons pubis, pudendal cleft, labia majora, labia minora, Bartholin's glands, and clitoris.
-
Ischium
- Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, the superior portion of this bone forms approximately one third of the acetabulum, which articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint.
- The inferior ramus of the ischium is thin and flattened and ascends from the superior ramus of the ischium to join the inferior ramus of the pubis.
- The ischium is located below the ilium and behind the pubis.
-
Perineum
- he inferior rami of the pubis and ischial tuberosity, and the sacrotuberous ligament

Sculpture in Southeast Asia
- Between the 1st and 8th centuries CE, several Indic kingdoms competed for dominance in Southeast Asia, particularly the Cambodian Funan and the Burmese Mon.
- Buddhist art in Thailand was shaped both by direct contact with Indian traders and the expansion of the Mon kingdom.
- Sculpted in the Mon Dwaravati style, this bronze statue has an idealized rather than realistic physical form including shell like curls for hair.
