Styloid process
Styloid Process
The vertebral structure that pivots on C2 and lacks a body is the dens (odontoid process). It is a bony projection that extends from the axis (C2 vertebra) and serves as the pivot point for rotation of the head.
The bony part of the head is the skull.
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 sharp slender process in a human bone is known as a spinous process, also called a neural spine. It is a bony projection that extends off the posterior side of the vertebra, serving as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments.
In the groove between the head of the ulna and the olecranon process at the elbow; at the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
They are horns.
The humerus articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow joint. The trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna, forming a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension. The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius, allowing for rotation of the forearm.
trapezius muscle
The bony part of the head in humans is called the skull. It serves to protect the brain and support the structures of the face.
