The rough superior edge of the corpus, the pubic crest, ends laterally in the pubic tubercle.

The arcuate line occurs about 1/3 of the distance from the umbilicus to the pubic crest, but this varies from person to person.

Medial to the pubic tubercle is the pubic crest, which extends from this process to the medial end of the bone.

Linea terminalis or innominate line, consists of the pectineal line, the pubic crest and the arcuate line.

The medial cremaster muscle, which sometimes is absent, originates from the pubic tubercle and sometimes the lateral pubic crest.

It originates on the pubic crest and pubis and inserts on the costal cartilage of the 5th-7th ribs and xiphoid process.

It extends from the pubic symphysis, pubic crest and pubic tubercle inferiorly, to the xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs V to VII superiorly.

In the aponeurosis of the external oblique, immediately above the pubic crest, is a triangular opening, the superficial inguinal ring, formed by a separation of the fibers of the aponeurosis in this situation.

Inferiorly, it attaches to the pelvis in two places: the pubic symphysis and pubic crest, arising by tendinous fibers from the anterior part of the pubis and the anterior pubic ligament.

In the medial superficial group, on both sides of the centre of the abdominal wall (the linea alba), the rectus abdominis stretches from the cartilages of ribs V-VII and the sternum down to the pubic crest.
