The pubis (os pubis) consists of a basal portion, or body lying immediately below the acetabulum, a superior or acetabular ramus extending from the body to the symphysis, and an inferior or symphyseal ramus extending backward along the symphysis to its junction with the ischium. The anterior margin of the bone, described as the pecten oss. pubis, is thin and sharp. Near the symphysis it bears a minute elevation, the pubic tuber- cle (tuberculum pubicum), and laterally a more extensive elevation, the iliopectineal eminence (emin- entia iliopectinea). The latter is more conspicuous in older specimens, where it is easily recognizable by its jagged outline. Its lateral margin is con- tinuous with the iliopectineal line. THE FEMUR. The femur (Fig. 70) is a some- what S-shaped bone, the body being very slightly arcuate, while of the two extremities, the distal one is bent downward, forming the articulation of the knee, the proximal one, with its various processes, slightly upward in association with the pelvis. In considering the general form, it will be remembered that in the natural sitting posture of the rabbit, the position of the femur is approximately horizontal, the convex surface of the shaft, which is equivalent to the anterior surface in man, being uppermost. The proximal extremity of the femur bears an extensive rounded portion or head (caput femoris), for articulation with the pelvic girdle. This portion is separated from the main part of the.
