>>>>>Foramen, Canal, Fissure - Openings in bone to allow for
nerves, blood supply or passageway
- Sinus - hollow chamber in bone, usually filled with air; helps to
lighten the weight of the bone
- Process, ramus - elevations.bump in bone
- Trochanter, tuberosity, tubercle, crest, line, spine - processes or
