Head: bony expansion carried on a narrow neckCondyle: rounded articular projectionRamus: armlike bar of bone
A smooth rounded end of the bone is called a condyle.
A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.
Periosteum is a thin connective tissue membrane that covers bones and helps in bone growth, repair, and nutrition.
The resilient substance that keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed is called articular cartilage. Articular cartilage is a smooth, elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, providing cushioning and promoting smooth joint movement.

malleus,ear bone
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.
Articular Cartilage
A tuberacle is a small, rounded projection of a process formed where tendons or ligaments attach.
A sharp projection from the surface of a bone is called a process. Bones can have different types of processes, such as a spinous process, which is a sharp, pointed projection; or a tuberosity, which is a large, rounded projection. Processes serve as attachment points for ligaments and tendons.
A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.
Articular cartilage
Periosteum is the connective tissue that covers that parts of bone other than the articular cartilage.
Intra-articular loose bodies are chondral (cartilage), osseous (bone) or osteochondral (bone and cartilage) fragments located within the joint cavity.
