Large ones are tubercles and smaller ones are tuberosities.

What is a condyle?
A condyle is a rounded prominence at the end of a bone, typically part of a joint. It helps facilitate smooth movement and stabilization of the joint during motion. Condyles are often found in areas such as the knee, elbow, and jaw.
Are condyles only found int the axial skeleton?
Condyle is a rounded prominence at the end of a bone, most often used for articulation with another bone. Condyles can be found in numorous places in the body example: Knuckles TMJ ( Temporomandibular Joint/ aka Jaw) Vertebral Column In short, they can be found in both the axial and appendicular skeleton.
What is a large rounded articulating knob?
A large rounded articulating knob is referred to as a condyle. It is a bone structure found at the end of a bone that forms an articulation (joint) with another bone, allowing for movement. Condyles are typically rounded and smooth, facilitating the gliding and rotation of bones within a joint, such as the femoral condyles in the knee.
What tiny round specks of bone found in a tendon are often called what bone?
Sesamoid.
Is ball and socket joint is rigid or mobile joint?
A ball and socket joint is a highly mobile joint. It allows for a wide range of movement in multiple directions due to the rounded end (ball) of one bone fitting into the cup-like socket of another bone. This type of joint is found, for example, in the hip and shoulder.
What is the relationship between Diaphysis and Epiphysis?
The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone.
A smooth rounded end of a bone is called?
A smooth rounded end of the bone is called a condyle.
What is the scientific term for bone end?
The scientific term for bone end is "epiphysis." This is the rounded end of a long bone that forms a joint with another bone.
What does a ball and socket joint look like?
A ball and socket joint resembles a ball (rounded end of one bone) fitting into a socket (concave surface of another bone), allowing for a wide range of movement in multiple directions. This type of joint is found in the hip and shoulder, providing flexibility and stability to the joint.
What type of joint allows the rounded end of one bone to fit into a ring of bone so that the bone can turn?
The type of joint that allows the rounded end of one bone to fit into a ring of bone for rotational movement is called a pivot joint. An example of this is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae (the atlas and axis), which enables the head to turn from side to side. Pivot joints facilitate rotational motion while allowing for limited movement in other directions.
Type of joint found in the sholder and hip?
Ball and socket joints are found in the shoulder and hip. These joints allow for a wide range of motion in multiple directions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The rounded head of the bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of the other bone in these joints.
How do you think the ball-and-socket joint got its name?
The ball-and-socket joint is named for its structure, in which one bone has a spherical head that fits into a cup-like socket of another bone, allowing for a wide range of motion in all directions. This joint resembles a ball (head of one bone) fitting into a socket (cup-shaped cavity of another bone), hence the name.
