This includes things called Crest, Epicondyle, Line, Spinuos Process, Trochanter, Tubercle, Tuberosity.
What is a Fissure?
This is a type of Depression or opening, A narrow slit between adjacent parts of bones through which blood vessels or nerves pass through.

Prominent ridge or elongated projection.
What is a Epicondyle? (Epi=above)
Typically a roughened projection above a Condyle.
What is a Line?
Long, narrow ridge or border (less prominent than crest)
