Flashcards do conjunto (23)
- 1Bone MarkingsIrregularities found on above e.g. projections or depressions
- 2Functions of bone markings- Strengthens bone
- Provide passages through the bone (conduits for blood vessels + nerves)
- Promote bone to bone articulations
- Provide attachment site for muscle/ligaments + tendons
- Provide surface landmarks - 3Projections (muscle + ligament attachment)Trochanter

Process - 4TrochanterVery large, rounded projection
e.g. Femur - 5Projections (assist in articulation)Head
Facet
Condyle
Ramus - 6DepressionsGroove
Fissure

Notch
Meatus
Sinus
Fossa - 7TuberositySmaller, rounded, usually rough projection
e.g. raduis and ulna - 8TubercleSmall, rounded process
e.g. humerus - 9CrestProminent, narrow ridge
e.g. pelvis - iliac crest - 10EpicondyleProjection above condyle
e.g. humerus/femur - 11SpineSharp, slender, pointd projection
e.g. scapula - 12ProcessAny bony projection
e.g. vertebrae - spinous process - 13HeadRounded articular expansion on a narrow neck
e.g. humerus/femus - 14FacetSmooth, nearly flat
e.g. rib and on vertebral bone - 15CondyleRounded, knuckle-shaped
e.g. femur/humerus - 16RamusArm-like extension making an angle w/ rest of structure
e.g. mandible - 17GrooveA furrow that accommodates a soft structure like blood vessels
e.g. mandible - 18FissureA narrow slit between adjacent bones, forming a passageway for blood vessels and nerves
e.g. skull - 19ForamanRounded passageway/opening for blood vessels or nerves
e.g. skull - 20NotchIndentation at edge
e.g. radial notch of the ulna - 21MeatusA canal passageway within a bone
e.g. skull - 22SinusCavity within bone filled with air and mucous
e.g. nose - 23FossaShallow, basin-like depression
e.g. scapula
