This is called a process.
The styloid process is a bony projection located on the temporal bone of the skull, specifically on the bottom surface of the temporal bone near the base known as the petrous part. It extends downward and serves as an attachment site for various muscles and ligaments in the head and neck region.
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.
The iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, and posterior superior iliac spine are surface features along the ilium that mark attachment sites for large hip muscles like the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
The axial skeleton provides protection for vital organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. Additionally, it serves as an attachment point for muscles that help with posture and support the body's weight. The skull in particular protects the brain, while the ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
The broad surfaces of the scapula provide attachment points for muscles that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. The large surface area also allows for a greater range of motion in the shoulder.
process
A projection on a bone for muscle attachment is a bony prominence or outgrowth that serves as an anchor point for muscles, tendons, or ligaments. These projections, such as tubercles, spines, or processes, increase the surface area for muscle attachment, allowing for better leverage and movement. They play a crucial role in the biomechanics of the skeletal system by facilitating movement and stability.
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.
Skeletal muscles can attach to bones directly and indirectly. A direct attachment is when the epimysium (the sheath of connective tissue surrounding the muscle fibre's exterior surface) sticks to and fuses with the periosteum (the connective tissue surrounding the exterior surface of the bone). An indirect attachment is when the epimysium extends beyond the muscle as a tendon and attaches to the periosteum of the bone. This attachment is more common in the human body than a direct attachment.
In anatomy, a crest refers to a prominent ridge or projection on a bone surface, often serving as a point for muscle attachment. These crests provide structural support and aid in the movement of the associated muscles. Examples include the iliac crest in the pelvis and the crest of the tibia in the lower leg.
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
The styloid process is a bony projection located on the temporal bone of the skull, specifically on the bottom surface of the temporal bone near the base known as the petrous part. It extends downward and serves as an attachment site for various muscles and ligaments in the head and neck region.
its the sternum.
The Coracoid process of the ulna is a triangular projection with a rough surface. The Coracoid process is the insertion site for the brachialis muscle.
Projection
A cylinder is used to create the Mercator Projection. The Earth's surface is projected onto the cylinder, which is then unrolled to create a flat map. This projection results in distortions in the polar regions.
The posterior surface of the elbow is in contact with the IR when taking an AP projection of the elbow. When doing an AP projection of the forearm, the elbow should be extended and parallel to the IR.
