| tuberculum majus humeri | greater tubercle of humerus |
| tuberculum minus humeri | The anterior of the two tubercles of the neck of the humerus on which the subscapularis is inserted. Synonym: tuberculum minus humeri, lesser tuberosity of humerus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa coronoidea humeri | A hollow on the anterior surface of the distal end of the humerus, just above the trochlea, in which the coronoid process of the ulna rests when the elbow is flexed. Synonym: fossa coronoidea humeri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa radialis humeri | A shallow depression on the anterior aspect of the distal humerus, superior to the capitulum of the humerus and lateral to the coronoid fossa, in which the margin of the head of the radius rests when the elbow is in extreme flexion.
