| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 2 Main Categories of Bone Markings | Processes or Projections |
| 2 Main Categories of Bone Markings | Depressions |
| Processes or Projections (P&P) | Extend beyond or project out from the main body of a bone |
| Depressions | Hollow or depressed areas |
| Head (P&P) | Expanded end of a long bone (half circle) |
| Condyle (P&P) | Smooth rounded process at an articular end (not palpable – articulates with another bone) |
| Epicondyle (P&P) | Projection above a condyle (is palpable) |
| Protuberance (P&P) | Projecting prominence (back of head and chin) |
| Malleolus (P&P) | Club-shaped process (knobs on the ankles) |
| Trochanter (P&P) | Either of the two large, rounded, and elevated processes of the proximal femur |
| Tubercle (P&P) | Small, rounded, and elevated process, smaller version of a trochanter |
| Tuberosity (P&P) | Rough and irregular projection, usually more elevated than a tubercle |
| Spine (P&P) | projecting ridge – most prominent |
| Crest (P&P) | Long narrow ridge – less prominent |
| Line (P&P) | Very low ridge; Usually subtle, elongated, and non- projecting |
| What comes in pairs? (greater and lesser) | Trochanter and Tubercle |
| Styloid (P&P) | Long, pointed process |
| Facet (P&P) | Small, smooth-surfaced articular process (only in spine) |
| Coracoid (P&P) | more cork-like |
| Coronoid (P&P) | very pointy, triangular (beak-like) |
| Hamulus (P&P) | Hook-shaped process (on hamate of the carpal bone – points inward to the palm) |
| Horn (P&P) | EXTREMELY SMALL Hornlike process (hyoid bone |
| Foramen (depression) | Hole in a bone for transmission of vessels and nerves |
| Meatus (depression) | Tube-like passageway inside the bone (ear passage) |
| Sinus (depression) | Hollow space for air in your skull |
| Notch (depression) | Indentation in the border of a bone |
| Fossa (depression) | Pit, fovea, rounded depression |
| Fissure (depression) | Only in orbits |
| Sulcus (depression) | groove-like depression that separates or outlines structures (only found in brain anatomy) |
| Groove (depression) | Shallow linear channel for a tendon |
