  2. Tuberosity of the tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberosity_of_the_tibia

    The tuberosity of the tibia gives attachment to the patellar ligament, which attaches to the patella from where the suprapatellar ligament forms the distal tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscles. The quadriceps muscles consist of the rectus femoris , vastus lateralis , vastus medialis , and vastus intermedius .

  3. Ischial tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischial_tuberosity

    The ischial tuberosity (or tuberosity of the ischium, tuber ischiadicum), also known colloquially as the sit bones or sitz bones, [1] or as a pair the sitting bones, [2] is a large posterior bony protuberance on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet.

  4. Radial tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tuberosity

    Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: a posterior, rough portion , for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii .

  5. Tubercle (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubercle_(bone)

    The most prominent tubercle of the tibia, a leg bone which is more commonly known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the tibial tuberosity. The tibial tuberosity is located on the tibia's anterior surface, distal to the medial condyle. It creates a bony prominence just below the patella, and can be easily located with the fingers.

  6. Patellar tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon

    The patellar tendon is a strong, flat ligament, which originates on the apex of the patella distally and adjoining margins of the patella and the rough depression on its posterior surface; below, it inserts on the tuberosity of the tibia; its superficial fibers are continuous over the front of the patella with those of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris.

  7. Greater tubercle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_tubercle

    The greater tubercle of the humerus is the outward part the upper end of that bone, adjacent to the large rounded prominence of the humerus head. It provides attachment points for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles, three of the four muscles of the rotator cuff, a muscle group that stabilizes the shoulder joint.

  8. Tubercle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubercle

    In the human skeleton, a tubercle or tuberosity is a protrusion that serves as an attachment for skeletal muscles. The muscles attach by tendons, where the enthesis is the connective tissue between the tendon and bone. [4] For example, the tibial tuberosity creates an attachment point for the ligamentum patellae, or patellar ligament.

  9. Humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus

    The deltoid tuberosity is a roughened surface on the lateral surface of the shaft of the humerus and acts as the site of insertion of deltoideus muscle. The posterorsuperior part of the shaft has a crest, beginning just below the surgical neck of the humerus and extends till the superior tip of the deltoid tuberosity.
