Capitulum
Small rounded article head
Eg
Capitulum of the humerus
Condyle
Large rounded protuberance at the end of bone**
Rounded, knuckle-like article area
Usually in pairs
Crest
Ridge of a bone
Elongated projection
Eg
Iliac crest
Epicondyle
Eminence superior or adjacent to a Condyle
Eg
Lateral Epicondyle of the humerus
Facet
Smooth flat area
Usually covered with cartilage
Where bones articulate with other bones
Foramen
Passage through a bone
Opening in a bone
Fossa
Think stacked bowls
Shallow Hollow or depressed area
Holds bones to stay in contact
Housing opposing bone at some point
Eg infraspinous flossy of the scapula
Groove
Elongates depression or furrow
Eg radial groove of the humerus
Head
Large
Round projection at end of bone
Round articular end
Eg head of the humerus
Line
Long narrow ridge
Less prominent than crest
( wimpy crest)
Linear elevation
Eg soleal line of the tibia
Malleolus
Rounded process
Eg
Lateral malleolus of the fibula
Notch
Indentation at the edge of a bone
Eg
Greater sciatic notch
Protuberance
Projection of the bone
Eg external occipital protuberance
Spine
Small pointy projection**
Thorn-like process
Eg spine of the scapula
Spinous process
Projecting spine like part
Eg
Spinous process of the vertebra
