Name the surface feature:

Condyle-Rounded process that is often covered with articular (hyaline) cartilage at the ends (epiphysis) and articulates with another bone.

Name the surface feature:

Crest- A narrow, ridge-like projection (ex. iliac crest of ilium).

Name the surface feature:

Diaphysis- The middle, or shaft of a bone.

Name the surface feature:

Epicondyle- A projection situated above a condyle (ex. medial epicondyle of humerus).

Name the surface feature:

Epiphysis- The end of a long bone that is originally separated from the main bone
by a layer of cartilage but that later becomes united to the main bone.

Name the surface feature:

Facet- A small, nearly flat surface (ex. Rib facet of thoracic vertebra)

Name the surface feature:

Fontanel- A soft spot in the skull where membranes cover the space between bones (ex. anterior fontanel between frontal and parietal bones).

Name the surface feature:

Foramen- An opening through a bone that usually is a passageway for blood vessel, nerves, or ligaments

Name the surface feature:

Fossa- A relatively deep pit or depression (olecranon fossa of humerus)

Name the surface feature:

Head- An enlargement on the end of a bone (head of humerus)

Name the surface feature:

Process- A prominent projection on a bone for tendon/ muscle attachment (mastoid process of temporal bone).

Name the surface feature:

Sinus- A cavity within a bone (maxillary sinus of the maxillary)

Name the surface feature:

Spine- a thorn like projection (spine of scapula)

Name the surface feature:

Suture- An interlocking line of union between bones (sagittal suture between parietal bones).

Name the surface feature:

Trochanter- A relatively large process for tendon/muscle attachment. Only on the femur.

Name the surface feature:

Tubercle- A small, knoblike process for tendon/muscle attachment (greater tubercle of humerus).

Name the surface feature:

Tuberosity- A knob like process usually larger than a tubercle for tendon/ muscle attachment (radial tuberosity of radius)
