tuberosity
large rounded projection: may be roughened
A tuberosity is a large, rough projection or bump on a bone that serves as an attachment site for muscles, ligaments, or tendons. It usually has a rough surface due to the presence of raised edges or ridges, which help to anchor the connective tissue. Tuberosities are usually found on long bones, such as the femur, humerus, and tibia.
Some examples of tuberosities include the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus, the intertubercular sulcus between them, the tibial tuberosity on the anterior surface of the tibia, and the ischial tuberosity on the bottom of the pelvis. The size and shape of tuberosities can vary depending on the specific bone and its function.
