Pubic bone (or pubis)

What: the pubis is a strong protection bone and happens to be wider in women due to childbirth

Where: to the left of the urinary bladder

Why: protects the pelvic visceral organs

What: a sex organ that is that goes from the uterus to the outside of the body

Where: positioned between the bladder and urethra (anteriorly)

Why: functions as a passage for menstrual flow, birth canal and a receptacle for sperm during copulation

Urinary bladder

What: a reproductive cavity that expands and retracts to empty urine

Where: to the right of the pubic bone

Why: holds urine and eventually expels it
