mastoid process of temporal bone | bony knob behind ear lobe |
c7 spinous process | first prominent bump when neck is flexed |
spinous processes of vertebrae | line of bumps down midline of back |
spine of scapula | ridge across posterior scapula |
acromion process of scapula | lateral end of spine of scapula; forms top of shoulder |

posterior border of ulna | sharp dorsal margin of ulna; palpated entire length of forearm |
styloid process of ulna | a prominent knob on distal end of posterior ulna |
styloid process of radius | distal end of lateral aspect of radius ( it is slightly more distal than styloid process of ulna) |
