Its base is continuous with the body of the bone, and of considerable strength. [1] Its apex is pointed, slightly curved upward, and in flexion of the forearm is received into the coronoid fossa of the humerus. Its upper surface is smooth, convex, and forms the lower part of the semilunar notch.
Anatomical terms of bone [ edit on Wikidata ] Superior to the anterior portion of the trochlea is a small depression, the coronoid fossa , which receives the coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the forearm .
The glenoid fossa of the scapula or the glenoid cavity is a bone part of the shoulder.The word glenoid is pronounced / ˈ ɡ l iː n ɔɪ d / or / ˈ ɡ l ɛ n ɔɪ d / (both are common) and is from Greek: gléne, "socket", reflecting the shoulder joint's ball-and-socket form. [1]
Frequently, the flexor pollicis longus arises from the lower part of the coronoid process by a rounded bundle of muscular fibers. The semilunar notch is a large depression, formed by the olecranon and the coronoid process, and serving as articulation with the trochlea of the humerus. About the middle of either side of this notch is an ...
The Coronoid process (from Greek korone, "like a crown") can refer to: . The coronoid process of the mandible, part of the ramus mandibulae of the mandible; The coronoid process of the ulna, a triangular eminence projecting forward from the upper and front part of the ulna
The pronounced coronoid process is labeled "cp". coronoid process The coronoid process is a bony projection that extends upwards from the upper surface of the lower jaw behind the tooth row. This process serves as an attachment site for muscles that close the jaw; a higher coronoid process increases the lever arm of these muscles, and thus the ...
The trochlear notch (/ ˈ t r ɒ k l ɪər /), [1] also known as semilunar notch and greater sigmoid cavity, is a large depression in the upper extremity of the ulna that fits the trochlea of the humerus (the bone directly above the ulna in the arm) as part of the elbow joint. It is formed by the olecranon and the coronoid process.
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).
