In human anatomy, the mandible's coronoid process (from Greek korōnē 'hooked') is a thin, triangular eminence, which is flattened from side to side and varies in shape and size. Its anterior border is convex and is continuous below with the anterior border of the ramus .
The coronoid process of the ulna is a triangular process projecting forward from the anterior proximal portion of the ulna. Structure
Between these two bands a few intermediate fibers descend from the medial epicondyle to blend with a transverse band which bridges across the notch between the olecranon and the coronoid process. This ligament is in relation with the triceps brachii and flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar nerve , and gives origin to part of the flexor digitorum ...
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 tuberosity of the ulna is a rough eminence on the proximal end of the ulna.It occurs at the junction of the antero-inferior surface of the coronoid process with the front of the body.
The anterior oblique ligament (AOL) attaches from the undersurface of the medial epicondyle to the medial ulnar surface slightly below the coronoid process. [12] It is the sturdiest of the three sections within the UCL. The AOL acts as the primary restraint against valgus stress at the elbow during flexion and extension.
The coronoid process of the mandible is positioned lower in relation to the overall skull unlike in ruminants, and the temporomandibular joint is also lower than in Amphimeryx. [7] [12] Pseudamphimeryx is also known from a brain endocast, although the endocasts of it and Amphimeryx were not as closely described in detail.
