Match the projections on sites of muscle/ligament attachments: Crest | Narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent; Trochanter | Large-rounded projection; may be roughened; Line | Very large, blunt, irregular shaped process (examples on femur); Tuberosity | Narrow ridge of bone; less prominent than a crest.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match specific anatomical terms related to muscle and ligament attachments to their correct definitions or descriptions. This requires knowledge of anatomy and terminology associated with the skeletal system.
Answer
Crest - Narrow ridge of bone; Trochanter - Very large, blunt process; Line - Less prominent ridge; Tuberosity - Large rounded projection.
Crest - Narrow ridge of bone usually prominent; Trochanter - Very large, blunt, irregular shaped process; Line - Narrow ridge of bone, less prominent than a crest; Tuberosity - Large rounded projection, may be roughened.
Answer for screen readers
Crest - Narrow ridge of bone usually prominent; Trochanter - Very large, blunt, irregular shaped process; Line - Narrow ridge of bone, less prominent than a crest; Tuberosity - Large rounded projection, may be roughened.
More Information
Bone markings provide attachment sites for muscles and ligaments, and have specific characteristics and names based on their shape and location.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse 'line' and 'crest'. Remember, a crest is more prominent than a line.
