Bones and Bone Markings - Anatomy & Physiology
이 집합의 용어 (29)
Bone markings are surface features on bones that serve as sites for muscle attachment, joint formation, or passage of nerves and blood vessels.
Projections, depressions, and openings.
A process is a projection or outgrowth of bone that usually serves as an attachment point for muscles or ligaments.
A tuberosity is a large, rounded projection on a bone, often serving as a muscle attachment site.
A tubercle is a small, rounded projection or bump on a bone.
A crest is a narrow, prominent ridge of bone.
A line is a narrow ridge of bone, less prominent than a crest.
A spine is a sharp, slender, often pointed projection.
A head is a rounded articular projection supported on the neck of a bone.
A neck is a narrow connection between the head and the shaft of a bone.
A facet is a smooth, nearly flat articular surface on a bone.
A condyle is a rounded articular projection, often articulating with another bone.
A ramus is a curved portion of a bone that forms an angle with the rest of the structure.
Fossa, groove, and notch.
A fossa is a shallow depression or hollow in a bone.
A groove is a narrow, elongated depression that accommodates a tendon, nerve, or blood vessel.
A notch is an indentation at the edge of a bone.
Foramen, canal, and fissure.
A foramen is a round or oval opening through a bone for blood vessels or nerves.
A canal or meatus is a tubular passage or tunnel through a bone.
A fissure is a narrow, slit-like opening in a bone.
The diaphysis is the shaft or central part of a long bone.
The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, usually covered with articular cartilage.
The metaphysis is the region between the diaphysis and epiphysis where growth occurs in children.
The periosteum is a dense connective tissue membrane covering the outer surface of bones, except at joints.
The endosteum is a thin membrane lining the medullary cavity inside bones.
The medullary cavity is the central hollow space within the diaphysis that contains bone marrow.
Compact bone forms the dense outer layer of bones.
Spongy bone is the porous, inner bone tissue that contains red or yellow bone marrow.
