Elevation, Ledge (Mons)

In anatomy, mons (lat. mons) is a rounded elevation. The most famous example is the pubis (mons pubis) - an elevation above the pubic symphysis formed by adipose tissue. The pubis covers the pubic bones and is part of the external genitalia. In women, the pubis covers the pubic joint, and in men, it covers the base of the penis.

In addition to the pubis, mons include:

1. Mons veneris - elevation of the pubis.

2. Mons pubis - pubic eminence.

3. Mons hepatis - accessory lobe of the liver.

Thus, in anatomy, mons is a general name for various rounded projections and elevations on the surface of organs and parts of the body. The most famous example is the pubic eminence (mons pubis).

Elevation, Protrusion (Mons) - (in anatomy) a rounded elevation. The pubis (mons pubis) is an elevation formed by adipose tissue above the pubic symphysis. The pubis is covered with hair in adult women, and its shape and size vary depending on the amount of subcutaneous fat. In men, the pubic protrusion is usually less pronounced.

The pubis plays an important role in protecting the genitourinary organs. In women, it also alleviates pressure during intercourse and childbirth. The elevation of the pubis is formed mainly by adipose and connective tissue, as well as the area of ​​the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscles of the abdomen.

"Monset" and "Protrusion" (Mons), also known as "Pubis", are common terms to describe an anatomical structure in humans and other mammals that is round in shape and located above the pubic joints. In human anatomy, the pubis is a rounded-contour area of ​​the body, which is formed predominantly
