Terminology
Several terms are used to refer to features and components of
bones throughout the body:
| Bone feature |
Definition |
| articular process |
A projection that contacts an adjacent bone. |
| articulation |
The region where adjacent bones contact each other—a
joint. |
| canal |
A long, tunnel-like foramen, usually a passage for notable
nerves or blood vessels. |
| condyle |
A large, rounded articular process. |
| crest |
A prominent ridge. |
| eminence |
A relatively small projection or bump. |
| epicondyle |
A projection near to a condyle but not part of the joint. |
| facet |
A small, flattened articular surface. |
| foramen |
An opening through a bone. |
| fossa |
A broad, shallow depressed area. |
| fovea |
A small pit on the head of a bone. |
| labyrinth |
A cavity within a bone. |
| line |
A long, thin projection, often with a rough surface. Also
known as a ridge. |
| malleolus |
One of two specific protuberances of bones in the
ankle. |
| meatus |
A short canal. |
| process |
A relatively large projection or prominent bump.(gen.) |
| ramus |
An arm-like branch off the body of a bone. |
| sinus |
A cavity within a cranial bone. |
| spine |
A relatively long, thin projection or bump. |
| suture |
Articulation between cranial bones. |
| trochanter |
One of two specific tuberosities located on the
femur. |
| tubercle |
A projection or bump with a roughened surface, generally
smaller than a tuberosity. |
| tuberosity |
A projection or bump with a roughened surface. |
Several terms are used to refer to specific features of long
bones:
| Bone feature |
Definition |
| Diaphysis |
The long, relatively straight main body of the bone;
region of primary ossification. Also known as the shaft. |
| epiphyses |
The end regions of the bone; regions of secondary
ossification. |
| epiphyseal plate |
The thin disc of hyaline cartilage between the diaphysis
and epiphyses; disappears by twenty years of age. Also known
as the growth plate |
| head |
The proximal articular end of the bone. |
| neck |
The region of bone between the head and the shaft. |
