Tuberosity

Tuberosity (tuberositas) – area to which sheaves are attached, sinews and muscles, representing an eminence with a rough surface on a bone.

Allocate:

  • Tuberosity of a tibial bone (t. tibiae) – area to which patella ligaments are attached; it is located on a front part of a surface of an upper (proximal) epiphysis of a tibial bone;
  • Tuberosity deltoid (t. deltoidea) – area of an attachment of a deltoid muscle; is in an average share of a lateral (side) surface of a humeral bone;
  • Tuberosity chewing (t. masseterica) – the field of fixing of a masseter; it is placed on the outside site of a surface of a corner and branch of a mandible;
  • Tuberosity sacral (t. sacralis) – the area located on lateral parts of a sacrum to which muscles and sheaves are attached;
  • Tuberosity alate (t. pterygoidea) – the field of accession of a medial alate muscle; is on the internal site of a surface of a branch of a mandible near its corner;
  • Tuberosity of a navicular (t. ossis navicularis) – area in medial (median) department of the distal site of a surface of the bone of the same name to which the sinew of a back tibial muscle is attached;
  • Tuberosity of an ulna (t. ulnae) – area of an attachment of a humeral muscle; it is located on proximal (being closer to a body axis) the end of an ulna below and ahead of its coronal shoot;
  • Tuberosity of a beam bone (t. radii) – area of an attachment of a sinew of a biceps of a shoulder; it is placed on a beam bone, medialny and below her neck;
  • Tuberosity of the I plusnevy bone (t. ossis metatarsalis I) – the field of fixing of a front tibial muscle; it is located on the medial and bottom site of a surface of the basis of the I plusnevy bone;
  • Tuberosity of the V plusnevy bone (t. ossis metatarsalis V) – area to which sinews of a short fibular muscle are attached; it is placed on the lateral site of a surface of the basis of the V plusnevy bone;
  • Tuberosity ileal (t. iliaca) – the field of fixing of interosseous sacroiliac sheaves; is on an ileal bone behind and above from the site of an auriform joint surface;
  • Tuberosity buttock (t. glutea) – area to which the big gluteus is attached; represents the upper share of a lateral bay of the rough line located in an upper part of the back site of a surface of a femur.
