Acromion

In human anatomy, the acromion (from Greek: akros, "highest", ōmos, "shoulder",: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade).

Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans.

Ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis characterized by long-term inflammation of the joints of the spine, typically where the spine joins the pelvis.

Avulsion fracture

An avulsion fracture is a bone fracture which occurs when a fragment of bone tears away from the main mass of bone as a result of physical trauma.

Bone

A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals. Tubercle (bone) and bone are skeletal system.

See Tubercle (bone) and Bone

Enthesis

The enthesis (plural entheses) is the connective tissue between tendon or ligament and bone.

See Tubercle (bone) and Enthesis

Enthesitis is inflammation of the entheses (singular: enthesis)), the sites where tendons, ligaments and joint capsules attach to bones. It is a type of enthesopathy, meaning any pathologic condition of the entheses, with or without inflammation. There are some cases of isolated, primary enthesitis which are very poorly studied and understood.

Femur

The femur (femurs or femora), or thigh bone is the only bone in the thigh.

Gerdy's tubercle

Gerdy's tubercle is a lateral tubercle of the tibia, located where the iliotibial tract inserts.

Greater trochanter

The greater trochanter of the femur is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system.

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.

HLA-B27

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 (subtypes B*2701-2759) is a class I surface molecule encoded by the B locus in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 and presents antigenic peptides (derived from self and non-self antigens) to T cells.

Humerus

The humerus (humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

See Tubercle (bone) and Humerus

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.

See Tubercle (bone) and Inflammation

Intercondylar area

The intercondylar area is the separation between the medial and lateral condyle on the upper extremity of the tibia.

Knee

In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint).

Lesser trochanter

In human anatomy, the lesser trochanter is a conical, posteromedial, bony projection from the shaft of the femur.

See Tubercle (bone) and Lesser trochanter

Lesser tubercle

The lesser tubercle of the humerus, although smaller, is more prominent than the greater tubercle: it is situated in front, and is directed medially and anteriorly.

See Tubercle (bone) and Lesser tubercle

Lister's tubercle

Lister's tubercle or dorsal tubercle of radius is a bony prominence located at the distal end of the radius.

Osgood–Schlatter disease

Osgood–Schlatter disease (OSD) is inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity (apophysitis) usually affecting adolescents during growth spurts.

Ossification center

An ossification center is a point where ossification of the hyaline cartilage begins. Tubercle (bone) and ossification center are skeletal system.

See Tubercle (bone) and Ossification center

Patella

The patella (patellae or patellas), also known as the kneecap, is a flat, rounded triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.

Psoriatic arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term inflammatory arthritis that occurs in people affected by the autoimmune disease psoriasis.

Radial tuberosity

Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into.

Reactive arthritis

Reactive arthritis, also known as Reiter's syndrome, is a form of inflammatory arthritis that develops in response to an infection in another part of the body (cross-reactivity).

See Tubercle (bone) and Reactive arthritis

Rib cage

The rib cage or thoracic cage is an endoskeletal enclosure in the thorax of most vertebrates that comprises the ribs, vertebral column and sternum, which protect the vital organs of the thoracic cavity, such as the heart, lungs and great vessels and support the shoulder girdle to form the core part of the axial skeleton.

See Tubercle (bone) and Rib cage

Scapula

The scapula (scapulae or scapulas), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).

Sever's disease

Sever's disease, also known as calcaneus apophysitis, is an inflammation at the back of the heel (or calcaneus) growth plate in growing children.

Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome

Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, named after Swedish surgeon Sven Christian Johansson (1880-1959), and Christian Magnus Falsen Sinding-Larsen (1866-1930), a Norwegian physician, is apophysitis of the inferior pole of the patella.

Third trochanter

In human anatomy, the third trochanter is a bony projection occasionally present on the proximal femur near the superior border of the gluteal tuberosity.

Tibia

The tibia (tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.
