The |symphysis pubis| (or |pubic symphysis|) is the connection between the two halves of the |pubis|. It is marked by a line of hardened, calcified cartilage and rests in a slight concavity in the center of the |pubis|, situated between the two |pubic tubercles|. In the female, the |symphysis pubis| is covered by a thick pad of |fatty tissue|, called the mons |pubis|.
