Abstract
The structure of the symphysis pubis in the embryo and in the little child can be especially well examined by polarized light. The collagenous fibrils in the hyaline part of the symphysis, which first of all have to withstand forces of pressure and of shoving, form a 3-dimensional latticework of crossing fibrils. The fibrous cartilage of the symphysis shows some similarity to the discus intervertebralis. Its blood supply is from the front by capillaries disposed like glomerula. It has the function of a water-cushion against transverse pushings. The fibrous connective tissue of the symphysis, with its latticed arrangement of fibers designed to withstand forces of drawing and shoving, is for the most part transversely disposed.Keywords
