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 is the difference between the elbow condyle and epicondyle in terms of their anatomical structure and function?
The elbow condyle is the rounded prominence at the end of the humerus bone, while the epicondyle is a bony projection above the condyle. The condyle helps with joint movement, while the epicondyle serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments.
What keeps the mandibular condyle from slipping out of its fossa in a posterior direction?
The articular disc of the temporomandibular joint acts as a cushion and helps maintain the mandibular condyle in position within the fossa. Ligaments, muscles, and the shape of the condyle and fossa also contribute to stabilizing the joint and preventing the condyle from slipping posteriorly.
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.
What does the occipital condyle articulate with?
The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra (atlas) to form the atlanto-occipital joint. This joint allows for nodding movements of the head.
What is a rounded process called?
condyle
What is the plural form of the word condyle?
The plural of condyle is condyles.
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.

In Bennett movement there is movement of which condyle?
the movement of mandible toward lateral causes movement in both right and left condyles. For example, if one moves one's mandible (lower jaw) toward right, the right conlye moves laterally and the left goes downward, forward, and medially, so the left condyle is defined as nonworking and the right condyle as working. the movement of nonworking condyle,in this example left condyle, forms an angle between sagittal plan and direction of nonworking condyle, which is called Bennett angle.
How do you differentiate medial and lateral condyle of femur bone without marker?
If you are viewing the entire bone, you can differentiate the medial and lateral condyles by noting that the medial condyle is on the side with the head of the femur, and the lateral is on the side with the greater trochanter. If you have only the distal end of the femur available, then you can differentiate the condyles by noting that the medial condyle is longer and the lateral condyle is wider.
