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 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.

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 stylomandibular ligament is the thickened posterior portion of the investing cervical fascia around the neck. It extends from near the apex of the styloid process of the temporal bone to the angle and posterior border of the angle of the mandible, between the masseter muscle and medial pterygoid muscle.
Not from the actual human body, of course, but from the anatomical diagrams that purported to represent it. Goss was the esteemed editor of the 25th edition of the seminal classic Gray’s Anatomy . Internationally lauded as the authority on all things anatomical, Gray’s Anatomy had been considered essential for any would-be physician to own ...
In anatomy, a process (Latin: processus) is a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body. [1] For instance, in a vertebra, a process may serve for muscle attachment and leverage (as in the case of the transverse and spinous processes), or to fit (forming a synovial joint), with another vertebra (as in the case of the articular processes).
