Study Notes
Bone Markings
Head and Neck
- Enlarged, often rounded end of a bone is called the Head
- Constriction between the head and body of a bone is called the Neck
Proximal Femur
- A tuberosity on the proximal femur is called a Trochanter
Articular Surfaces
- Smooth, rounded articular surface is called a Condyle
- A small projection on a condyle is called an Epicondyle
Openings and Depressions
- A hole in a bone is called a Foramen
- A small, rounded projection is called a Tubercle
- A rounded projection, larger than a tubercle, is called a Tuberosity
- A deep, narrow depression is also a type of Tuberosity
- A long, narrow depression is called a Groove
- A cavity within a bone is called a Sinus
- A general term for a depression is a Fossa
