Before one can clearly understand descriptions of muscles andthe location of their attaclnnents it is necessary to become familiarwith certain terms used in describing bones and joints. The upperend of a long bone is usually called its head; the cylindrical portionforming most of its length is called its shaft. A long and ratherslender bony projection is called a spine; a shorter projection iscalled a process, and if pointed a spinous process; a rounded promi-nence is called a tuberosity, and if small a tubercle. A depression in abone is called a fossa, and a hole into or through a bone is calleda foramen. METHODS OF STUDYING MUSCULAR ACTION 31 The junction of two bones is called an articulation, of whichthere are several kinds. The bones of the skull and those of thepelvis are so joined as to permit no movement; articulations thatpermit movement are
