| eminentia articularis ossis temporalis | Articular eminence of the temporal bone which bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly; it forms the anterior root of the zygomatic process; it is enclosed by the articular capsule of the temporomandibular joint with the articular fossa; the head of the mandible (and intervening articular disc) move onto the articular tubercle to allow full depression of mandible (opening of mouth). Synonym: tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis, articular eminence of temporal bone, eminentia articularis ossis temporalis, tuber zygomaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eminentia orbitalis ossis zygomatici | A small elevation on the orbital surface of the zygomatic bone, just within the orbital margin, about 1 cm below the zygomaticofrontal suture; it gives attachment to the lateral check ligament, the lateral palpebral ligament, and the suspensory ligament of the eyeball. Synonym: eminentia orbitalis ossis zygomatici, orbital eminence of zygomatic bone, Whitnall's tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epicondylus lateralis ossis femoris | The epicondylus located proximal to the lateral condyle. Synonym: epicondylus lateralis ossis femoris, lateral femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epicondylus medialis ossis femoris | The epicondylus located proximal to the medial condyle. Synonym: epicondylus medialis ossis femoris, medial femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis | Articular eminence of the temporal bone which bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly; it forms the anterior root of the zygomatic process; it is enclosed by the articular capsule of the temporomandibular joint with the articular fossa; the head of the mandible (and intervening articular disc) move onto the articular tubercle to allow full depression of mandible (opening of mouth). Synonym: tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis, articular eminence of temporal bone, eminentia articularis ossis temporalis, tuber zygomaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculum marginale ossis zygomatici | A prominence on the temporal border of the zygomatic bone to which the temporal fascia is attached. Synonym: tuberculum marginale ossis zygomatici, marginal tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculum ossis scaphoidei | A projection at the inferior lateral angle of the scaphoid (navicular) bone; it can be felt at the root of the thumb. Synonym: tuberculum ossis scaphoidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculum ossis trapezii | A prominent ridge on the trapezium forming the lateral border of the groove in which runs the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis. Synonym: tuberculum ossis trapezii, oblique ridge of trapezium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberositas ossis cuboidei | A slight eminence on the lateral surface of the cuboid bone, capped with an articular facet for a sesamoid bone in the tendon of the peroneus longus muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis cuboidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberositas ossis metatarsalis primi | A tubercle at the base of the bone to which is attached the tendon of the peroneus longus muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis metatarsalis primi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberositas ossis metatarsalis quinti | A tubercle at the base of this bone to the posterior part of which is attached the tendon of the peroneus brevis muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis metatarsalis quinti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberositas ossis navicularis | A rounded eminence on the medial surface of the navicular bone, giving attachment to a part of the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis navicularis, scaphoid tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facies anterior partis petrosae ossis temporalis | The surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone contributing to the floor of the middle cranial fossa. Synonym: facies anterior partis petrosae ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
