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 bony projections is smooth in order to articulate with another bone?
Articular surfaces of bones are smooth bony projections that are designed to articulate with another bone, forming a joint. These surfaces are covered with cartilage to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement. Examples include the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum in the hip joint.
What is an example of a bony landmark?
There are more than one - the tibial tuberosity is just below the knee, the medial malleolus is part of the ankle joint. There are several bony marking on the tibia. These can include the tibial tuberosity, the tibial crest, ans the medial malleolus.
Which bone forms the bony knob on the inside of the ankle?
The bottom of the tibia. That particular part of the tibia is called the medial malleolus.
What are the bony landmarks of the clavicle?
The bony landmarks of the clavicle include the acromial end (which articulates with the acromion of the scapula), the sternal end (which articulates with the sternum), and the conoid tubercle and trapezoid line (which serve as attachment sites for ligaments).
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 is defined as a pit or socket?
A fossa is a bony landmark defined as a pit or socket.
Which is the inferior sternal bony landmark?
The xyphoid process is the inferior sternal bony landmark.
What bony landmark define as any bony prominence?
Any bony prominence is named by "process". E.g. "mastoid process of the skull."
What is the bony landmark recognized by a distinct dimple in the skin?
posterior superior iliac spineposterior superior iliac spine.
Is the rounded bony protuberance on each side of the ankle?
condyle a rounded protuberance at the end of some bones

When palpation of which bony landmark helps locate the ulnar nerve?
In the groove between the head of the ulna and the olecranon process at the elbow; at the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
Is A tubercle is a small rounded bony process.?
Yes, a tubercle is indeed a small, rounded bony process. It serves as a site for muscle or ligament attachment and is typically found on various bones throughout the body. Tubercle shapes and sizes can vary depending on their location and function in the skeletal system.
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.
