Bone Features and Structures

A bump/ projection at the end of a bone that forms a joint with another bone. There is a lateral and medial condyle on the end of the femur.

The rounded projection at the end of a bone which forms a joint. There is a head on the rib that connects to the spine and there is one on the femur to connect to the hip bone.

A groove on an end of a bone that allows movement in joints. There is one on the end of the humerus that interacts with the radius and ulna to have an elbow joint.
