Which of the cranial bones receive the condyle of the mandible?
temporal bone
Knuckle-like process at the end of a bone?
The knuckle-like process at the end of a bone is known as an articular surface or articular prominence. It plays a key role in forming joints and allowing for smooth movement between bones. The shape and structure of these articular surfaces vary depending on the type of joint and the specific bones involved.
A rounded process that usually articulates with another bone is called?
A rounded process that usually articulates with another bone is called a condyle. Condyles are rounded projections at the end of a bone that form joints with other bones, allowing for smooth and stable movement.
Is the rounded bony protuberance on each side of the ankle?
condyle a rounded protuberance at the end of some bones
What is a rounded process called?
condyle
What is the plural form of the word condyle?

What does the term condyle mean?
condyle refers to specific bones in the human body e.g. the condyle being the tip of the shaft of the jaw fitting into the glenoid fossa, the socket on the skull. More specifically the condyle is the edge of the mandible (jaw bone). Most often a normal undiseased condyle is rounded and can change shapes due to disease or internal derangment of the disc and ligaments. Yet it can be warped over time from the above said, grinding itself against the skull causing a creaking sound known as crepitus and therefor can become disfugred, diseased and painful hence the misshapen condyle either thinning and or now triangular in shape.
What is a large concave or rounded articular prominence of a bone called?
A large concave or rounded articular prominence of a bone is called a condyle. Condyles generally serve as sites of attachment for muscles and ligaments, as well as forming joints with other bones.
Do only reptiles have a single occipital condyle?
they have 1 occipital condyle
What is a process just above a condyle?
Above a condyle is a structure known as the epicondyle. Epicondyles are bony protrusions located near the condyle that serve as attachment points for ligaments and tendons, providing stability to the joint.
Why is the medial condyle larger than the lateral condyle?
The medial condyle is larger than the lateral condyle in order to help stabilize the knee joint. This asymmetry helps with weight distribution and allows for better support and movement of the knee. Additionally, the medial condyle tends to bear more weight during activities, so it needs to be larger for increased strength and stability.
What does phosphor do to your bones?
