Tuberosity (ligament & muscle attachment)| Large rounded projection; may be roughened |
| Crest (ligament & muscle attachment) | Narrowhead ridge of bone generally prominent |
| Trochanter (ligament & muscle attachment) | incredibly large, blunt, irfrequently shaped process. (the only examples are on the femur.) |
| Line (ligament & muscle attachment) | Narrowhead ridge of bone; less prominent than a crest |
| Tubercle (ligament & muscle attachment) | Small rounded projection or process |
| Epicondyle (ligament & muscle attachment) | Raised area on or over a condyle- beside the joint wbelow muscles & ligaments attach |
| Spine (ligament & muscle attachment) | Sharp, slender, frequently pointed projection |
| Process (ligament & muscle attachment) | Prominence or projection |
| Head (projections that assist to create joints) | Bony growth lugged on a narrow neck |
| Facet (projections that assist to develop joints) | Smooth, almost flat articular surface |
| Condyle (projections that assist to form joints) | Rounded articular projection |
| Ramus | Armlike bar of bone |
| Sinus | Space w/in a bone, filled with air & lined w/ mucous membrane |

| Foramen | Round or oval opening via a bone |
| Long Bones | Longer than they are wide, primarily consisting of a shaft w/ heads at either end. Composed predominately of compact bone. |
| Brief Bones | typically cube shaped, & they contain even more spongy bone than compact bone |
| Flat Bones | Typically thin, w/ 2 waferchoose layers of compact bone sandwiching a layer of spongy bone between them. |
