| BORDER | EDGE OR BOUNDARY OF A BONE EX. Superior border of scapula, Media/Lateral border of scapula |
| CONDYLE | ROUNDED BUMP; USUALLY FITS INTO A FOSSA OF ANOTHER BONE TO FORM A JOINT. EX. Occipital, Femur, Tibia |
| CREST | MODERATELY RAISED RIDGE; SITE FOR MUSCLE ATTACHMENT. EX. Crest of coxal (pelvic) bone, Interochanteric crest of femur, Crest of Tibia |
| EPICONDYLE | BUMP NEAR A CONDYLE; MUSCLE ATTACHMENT EX. Literally: Upon a knuckle, Lateral/Medial Epicondyle of Humerus/Femur |
| FACET | FLAT SURFACE FORMS A JOINT WITH ANOTHER FACET OR FLAT BONE. EX. Literally: Little Face, Superior/Inferior articular facet of vertebrae |
| FISSURE | LONG, CRACKLIKE HOLE FOR BLOOD EX. Literally: A Split, Superior/Inferior Orbital Fissure of Sphenoid |
| FORAMEN | ROUND HOLE FOR VESSELS AND NERVES EX. Literally: Hole, Stylomastoid and Jugular of Temporal Bone. Supraorbital of Frontal Bone, Rotundum , Optic, Ovale, Lacerum, Spinosum Of Sphenoid Bone. Magnum of Occipital Bone, Infraorbital of maxilla, Mandibular |
| FOSSA | DEPRESSION; OFTEN RECEIVES AN ARTICULATING BONE EX. Literally: Ditch. Obturator of coxal, Mandibular and Jugular fossa of Temporal, subscapular, Olecranon and Coronoid fossa of Humerus, Intercondylar fossa of Humerus |
| HEAD | DISTINCT EPIPHYSIS ON A LONG BONE, SEPARATED FROM SHAFT BY NARROW PORTION (Neck). HEAD OF: Rib, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Metacarpal bone, Femur, Fibula, Metatarsal Bone. |
| LINE | SIMILAR TO A CREST, NOT AS RAISED (Faint) EX. Superior/Inferior Nuchal Lines of Occipital. Sup/Inf Temporal Line of Parietal. Interochanteric, Linea aspera, Supracondylar, Intercondylar lines of Femur |
| MARGIN | EDGE OF A FLAT BONE OR FLAT AREA EX. Supraorbital margin of Frontal Bone, Infraorbital margin of Maxilla |
| MEATUS | TUBE LIKE OPENING OR CHANNEL Literally: Passage. EX. External/Internal Meatus of Temporal |
| NECK | EX. NECK OF: Mandible, Rib, Anatomical neck of Humerus, Surgical Neck of Humerus, Neck of Radius/Femur |
| NOTCH | A V-LIKE CUT OUT OF MARGIN OR EDGE OF A FLAT AREA EX. Supraorbital Notch, Radial Notch of Ulna, Greater/Lesser Notch of Coxal Bone, Intercondylar Notch of Femur. |
| PROCESS | PROJECTION OR RAISED AREA EX. Process of: Mastoid, Zygomatic, Styloid of Temporal Bone. Temporal Process of Zygomatic, Alveolar & Palatine of Maxilla, Condylar/Coronoid/Alveolar of Mandible. |
| PROCESS (Cont.) | EX. Spinous/Transverse, Superior/Inferior Articulation Process of Vertebra. Xiphoid of Sternum, Coracoid of Scapula, Styloid of Radius/Ulna, Coronoid of Ulna. |
| RAMUS | CURVED PORTION OF A BONE Like a Ram's Horn Literally: Branch. EX. Ramus of Mandible, Superior/Inferior Pubic Ramus |
| SINUS | CAVITY WITHIN A BONE Literally: Hollow EX. Frontal, Ethmoid, Maxillary Sinus |
| SPINE | SHARP, POINTED PROCESS; Similar to crested, but more raised for muscle attachment. Literally: Thorn EX. Spine of Scapula, Vertebra, Anterior Superior/Inferior Spine, Posterior Superior/Inferior Spine, Ischial Spine |
| SULCUS | GROOVE OR ELONGATED DEPRESSION Literally: Trench. EX. Intertubecular Sulcus, Radial Sulcus |
| TROCHANTER | LARGE BUMP FOR MUSCLE ATTACHMENT (Larger than a Tubercle or Tuberosity) Literally: Runner. EX. Greater/Lesser Trochanter of Femur |
| TUBERCLE | SMALL TUBEROSITY; SMALL OBLONG BUMP. Literally: Small bump/lump. EX. Tubercle of Rib, Pubic Tubercle, Greater/Lesser Tubercle of Humerus, Adductor Tubercle of Femur. |
| TUBEROSITY | OBLONG, RAISED BUMP; USUALLY FOR MUSCLE ATTACHMENT (Smaller is a Tubercle) EX. Frontal Tuberosity, Deltoid Tuberosity of Humerus, Radial, Ischial & Tibial Tuberosity |
