Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A ramus is an extension of a bone that is set at an angle to the rest of the bone. A sulcus is a groove or furrow, a fossa is a depression or hollow, a condyle is a rounded projection, and a meatus is a tunnel-like opening. None of these terms would apply to an extension at an angle to the rest of the bone.
