Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomical location of the mons pubis: The mons pubis is a fatty, rounded area of tissue located over the pubic bone in the anterior pelvic region.
Identify the anatomical landmarks mentioned in the question: The umbilicus (belly button), sternum (breastbone), iliac crest (upper edge of the hip bone), and pubic symphysis (cartilaginous joint between the left and right pubic bones).
Determine the relative position of the mons pubis: It is located in the lower anterior region of the pelvis, directly above the pubic symphysis.
Compare the anatomical locations: The umbilicus, sternum, and iliac crest are all located farther away from the mons pubis compared to the pubic symphysis.
Conclude that the mons pubis is immediately anterior to the pubic symphysis, as it is directly overlying this structure in the pelvic region.
