Common Bone Features • Articular surfaces • Joint surfaces (where bones come in contact with each other to form joints) • Covered by articular (_____________) cartilage • Consists of: • ____________- large, round (usually distal) articular surface • ____________- spherical proximal end of a long bone at the articular surface • ___________-flat articular surface
Common Bone Features: Condyle • Large, round (usually distal) articular surface. • Major condyles: distal end of humerus, distal end of femur, occipital skull bone.
Common Bone Features: Head • Somewhat spherical articular surface on the proximal end of a long bone. • Found on humerus, femur and rib. • Head is usually joined with rest of bone by a ________.
Common Bone Features: Facet • A flat articular surface. • Found in carpal and tarsal bones as well as in vertebrae, radius and ulna.
Common Bone Features: Processes • Lumps, bumps, and projections on a bone. • may (heads and condyles) or may not involve a joint • may be a site of tendon attachment • trochanter (femur), tubercle(humerus), crest (tibia), tuber (ischium), olecranon (ulna), spine (scapula) wing (atlas)
