The supraorbital margin on the external surface of the frontal bone forms the upper boundary of the base of the orbit (approx located on the upper surface of the eye sockets towards the lateral sides so upper-right of right eye and upper-left of left eye).Ī tube-like opening or channel extending within a bone.Įxternal auditory meatus of the temporal bone, forming the part of the skull behind the ear.Ī section of bone (esp. Superior temporal line and inferior temporal line on the outer surfaces of each of the parietal bones of the skull.Įdge of a flat bone or flat portion of the edge of a flat area Similar to a crest but not raised as much - may be relatively faint Head of the femur at the top of the femur (bone), upper-leg. The mandibular fossa of the temporal bone, forming part of the skull behind the ear/s.Ī rounded projection that forms part of a joint (in combination with a fitting part of an adjacent bone) and is separated from the shaft of the same bone by a narrow portion (usually called a "neck"). Such depressions in the surface of bones often receive another articulating bone with which a joint is formed. The foramen magnum of the occipital bone at the base of the skull.Īlso vertebral foramina in the vertebrae of the spine.Ī shallow depression (the word suggests "ditch" or "trench"). Round hole through which blood vessels, nerves or ligaments pass. The tympanomastoid fissure (also known as the auricular fissure) separates the tympanic portion of the temporal bone from the mastoid portion of the temporal bone and carries the auricular branch of the vagus nerve through the bone structure. Long, crack-line hole for blood vessels and nerves the superior articular facets of cervical vertebrae. Such flat surfaces may form a joint with another facet or flat bone.įacets (surfaces) of spinal vertebrae, e.g. ![]() The proximal epiphysis (shoulder-end) and the distal epiphysis (elbow-end) of the humerus bone.Ī smooth flat articular surface. The end part of a long bone which usually has a larger diameter than the shaft-part of the bone (which is called the diaphysis). The medial epicondyle of the humerus, which is larger and more prominent than the lateral epicondyle (of the humerus bone). the humerus, fibula, tibia and femur.īump near a condyle often give appearance of a "bump on a bump" for muscle attachment The iliac crest of the ilium (bone), which is part of the hip. Such crests are often sites for a muscle attachment. Moderately raised and therefore prominent border or ridge. The medial condyle of the femur (bone), upper-leg. Such rounded surfaces usually fit into a fossa on another bone to form a joint. Rounded bump or large rounded prominence. The diaphysis of long bones such as the humerus. Inferior angle (lower) and superior angle (upper) are the rounded angles or "corners" of the scapula. ![]()
