depressions/openings for blood vessels/nerves

Tuberosity defenition
large rounded projection
Crest defenition
narrow ridge of bone, prominent
Trochanter defenition
very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process
Line
narrow ridge of bone, less prominent than a crest
Tubercle defenition
small rounded projection or process
epicondyle defenition
raised area on or above a condyle
spine defenition
sharp, slender, pointed projection
process defenition
any bony prominence
Head defenition
bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
Facet defenition
smooth, nearly flat surface
Condyle defenition
rounded articular projection
Ramus defenition
armlike bar of bone
Meatus defenition
canal like passageway
Sinus defenition
cavity within a bone filled with air and lined with membrane
Fossa defenition
shallow, depression in a bone
Groove defenition
furrow
Fissure defenition
narrow, slit like opening
Foramen defenition
round or oval opening through a bone
Endochondral Ossification
replacement of cartilage with bone due to avascular properties that are outpaced by growth and leads to lack of oxygen
6 weeks to 25 y/o
Synarthrosis Joints
are fibrous joints that are immovable
Amphiarthrosis Joints
are cartilaginous joints that are slightly moveable
