What is the depression on the surface of a bone called?
The depression on the surface of a bone is called a fossa. It is a shallow, basin-like structure that typically serves as an attachment site for muscles or tendons.
What is smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints?
The smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints is called articular cartilage. It acts as a cushion and reduces friction between bones during movement, helping to facilitate smooth joint motion.
What is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis?
The outer surface of the epiphysis is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage known as articular cartilage. This cartilage helps cushion the joint and allows for smooth movement of the bones in the joint.
How do the superior and inferior articular process of the atlas differ from the same processes on a typical vertebra?
The surface of the superior articular will work right above the inferior surface in a vertebra. This is not true in the atlas.
What is the name of a shallow basin-like depression in a bone?
Fossa = Shallow depression or dip in the surface of a bone Process = Bone marking which stick out from the rest of the bone
What is a shallowing basin like depression in a bone often serving as an articular surface?
fossa

Protects articular surface of the bone?
Articular Cartilage
What contributes to joint stability?
the shape of the articular surface
Which axial skeletal bone has a small flat articular surface?
The axis (second cervical vertebra) has a small flat articular surface called the odontoid process or dens which articulates with the atlas (first cervical vertebra) to allow for rotation of the head.
What don't belong epiphysis surface articular cartilage periosteum hyaline cartilage?
Periosteum is the term that doesn't belong. The surface of the epiphysis, articular cartilage, and hyaline cartilage are all cartilaginous tissue.
What is smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints?
The smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints is called articular cartilage. It acts as a cushion and reduces friction between bones during movement, helping to facilitate smooth joint motion.
When was Nightmares That Surface from Shallow Sleep created?
Nightmares That Surface from Shallow Sleep was created in 2002.
Partial thickness articular surface tear of the supraspinatus tendonmild acromioclavicular joint degeneration as described?
No full thickness/partial articular tear of the supraspinatus tendon
What is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis?
The outer surface of the epiphysis is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage known as articular cartilage. This cartilage helps cushion the joint and allows for smooth movement of the bones in the joint.
What function does the tibia serve?
The Tibia serves as an articular surface for lateral condyle of the femur
Definition of facet?
In anatomy, a facet is a classification of bones according to their bone surface features. A facet is a small, flat, articular surface.
