AC joint (Acromion Joint) SC Joint (SternoClavicle Joint)
What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
What bone marking is a rounded convex projection?
Head: bony expansion carried on a narrow neckCondyle: rounded articular projectionRamus: armlike bar of bone
What body landmark is defined as a smooth rounded knob?
A bony landmark that is defined as a smooth, rounded knob is known as a condyle. These bones allow for the movements of a joint within the skeletal system.

What bony landmark define as any bony prominence?
Any bony prominence is named by "process". E.g. "mastoid process of the skull."

What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
What is the difference between palpating a bony landmark and a muscle?
When you palpate a bony landmark, it will feel harder than the soft tissue around it. For example, feel the point of your shoulder (acromion process of the scapula). Now move more medially (toward the center of your body) to the space between your shoulder and neck. If you feel the front of your body in this area, you will feel the clavicle (collarbone). If you feel the back of the area, you will be on your trapezius muscle, and perhaps supraspinatus and levator scapula. Notice how much softer the muscle areas feel than the bony landmarks. Generally, a bony landmark is a specific place on a particular bone. To use the example above - the acromion process of the scapula - it is the most lateral and superior aspect of the scapula, not just any old place on the scapula.
