  • Axial skeleton

    The part of the skeleton that includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.

  • Appendicular skeleton

    The part of the skeleton that includes the limbs and girdles (shoulder and pelvic girdles).

  • Process

    A projection or outgrowth of bone that serves as an attachment point for muscles, tendons, or ligaments.

  • Ramus

    A branch or extension of a bone, often forming an angle with the main body.

  • Canal or Meatus

    A tubular passage or tunnel through a bone.

  • Fissure

    A narrow, slit-like opening in a bone.

  • Fontanel

    A soft spot on an infant's skull where the bones have not yet fused.

  • Foramen

    A round or oval opening through a bone that allows passage of blood vessels or nerves.

  • Fossa

    A shallow depression or hollow in a bone.

  • Groove or Sulcus

    A long, narrow depression on a bone surface, often for a tendon or blood vessel.

  • Sinus or Antrum

    A cavity or hollow space within a bone, often filled with air.

  • Condyle

    A rounded articular projection that forms a joint with another bone.

  • Crest

    A prominent ridge or elongated projection on a bone.

  • Facet

    A small, flat, smooth surface on a bone, usually where it articulates with another bone.

  • Epicondyle

    A projection located above a condyle, often serving as a muscle attachment site.

  • Head (of a bone)

    The rounded, usually proximal end of a bone that fits into a joint.

  • Line (Linea)

    A narrow ridge of bone, less prominent than a crest.

  • Trochlea

    A smooth, grooved articular process shaped like a pulley.

  • Spinous process (Spine)

    A sharp, slender projection from a bone, often vertebrae.

  • Trochanter

    A very large, blunt projection found only on the femur for muscle attachment.

  • Tubercle

    A small, rounded projection on a bone for muscle or ligament attachment.

  • Tuberosity

    A large, rounded, roughened projection on a bone for muscle attachment.
