In anatomy, a styloid process (from Greek stylos (στῦλος), "pillar"), usually serving as points of attachment for muscles, refers to the slender, pointed process (protrusion) of: temporal bone of the skull - Temporal styloid process; radius bone of the lower arm - Radial styloid process; ulna bone of the lower arm - Ulnar styloid process
Anatomy. The styloglossus muscle is the shortest and smallest of the three styloid muscles. [citation needed] Origin. It arises from (the anterior and lateral ...
The temporal styloid process is a slender bony process of the temporal bone extending downward and forward from the undersurface of the temporal bone [1] just below the ear. [citation needed] The styloid process gives attachments to several muscles, and ligaments.
The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. [1] It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection. The tendon of the brachioradialis attaches at its base. [2]
The brachioradialis reflex (also known as supinator reflex) is observed during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon (at its insertion at the base of the wrist into the radial styloid process (radial side of wrist around 4 inches (102 mm) proximal to base of thumb)) directly with a reflex hammer when the patient's arm is relaxing.

The stylopharyngeus is a long, slender, [1] [2] tapered pharyngeal muscle. [2] It is cylindrical superiorly, and flattened inferiorly. [1]It passes inferior-ward along the side of the pharynx [1] between the superior pharyngeal constrictor (situated deep to the stylopharyngeus) and the middle pharyngeal constrictor (situated superficial to the stylopharyngeus), [2] before spreads out beneath ...
The styloid process of the ulna projects from the medial and back part of the ulna. It descends a little lower than the head. The head is separated from the styloid process by a depression for the attachment of the apex of the triangular articular disk, and behind, by a shallow groove for the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle.
