Coracoid Process

Hook-like projection on the superior anterior border of the scapula pointing forward and laterally.

Deltoid Tuberosity

Roughened V-shaped area near the midpoint of the lateral humerus shaft serving as the insertion point for the deltoid muscle.

Trochlea

Spool-shaped medial articular surface on the distal humerus articulating with the trochlear notch of the ulna.

Capitulum

Smooth, rounded knob on the lateral distal humerus articulating with the head of the radius.

Trochlear Notch

Large C-shaped depression at the proximal end of the ulna formed by the olecranon and coronoid process.

Head of Radius

Disc-shaped proximal end of the radius articulating with the capitulum of the humerus and radial notch of the ulna.

Carpals

Group of eight short bones arranged in two rows that form the wrist.

Fovea Capitis

Small central depression on the head of the femur that serves as an attachment point for the ligamentum teres.

Lesser Trochanter

Conical projection on the posterior, medial surface of the proximal femur inferior to the neck.

Acetabulum

Deep, cup-shaped socket on the lateral hip bone formed by the fusion of ilium, ischium, and pubis that receives the head of the femur.

Lateral Malleolus

Expanded distal end of the fibula forming the lateral prominence of the ankle.

Osteon (Haversian System)

Cylindrical structural unit of compact bone composed of concentric lamellae surrounding a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves.

Volkmann's Canals (Perforating Canals)

Transverse or oblique channels running perpendicular to central Haversian canals, connecting blood vessels of the periosteum, central canals, and medullary cavity.

Canaliculi

Microscopic hair-like canals radiating from lacunae that connect osteocytes to each other and to the central canal for nutrient and waste transport.
