-structured features of bones that have been adapted for specific function
98
Bone marking: projections
head: enlarged rounded head of a bone, supported on a narrow portion of the bone ex. head of the femur process-large prominent projection of a bone ex the olecranion process(elbow) crest-prominent ridge or border to which tendons and ligaments attach ex. illiac crest spine: sharp projection from the surface of the bone ex. spine of the scapula condyle: large rounded process(projection) for articuation joints ex the lateral condyle of the femur
99
Bone marking: Depression or Holes
foramen: opening through blood vessels nerves or ligaments pass ex. foramen magnum sinus: air filled cavity within a bone sinuses are connected to the nasal cavity ex. para nasal sinuses around the nose Fossa: depression in or on a bone ex. glenoid fossa- socket in which bone in shoulder joint Meatus: tube like passageway running within a bone ex. external auditory meatus
