A fossa is a depression in a bone that often receives an articulating bone, such as the glenoid fossa of the scapula that receives the head of the humerus in the shoulder joint. The trochanter is a large, rough projection on a bone, such as the greater trochanter of the femur. The foramen is a hole or opening in a bone, such as the foramen magnum in the skull. The ramus is a branch or extension of a bone, such as the mandibular ramus of the lower jaw bone.
