Styloid process information


In anatomy, a styloid process (from Greek stylos (στῦλος), "pillar"), usually serving as points of attachment for muscles, refers to the slender, pointed process (protrusion) of:

  • temporal bone of the skull - Temporal styloid process
  • radius bone of the lower arm - Radial styloid process
  • ulna bone of the lower arm - Ulnar styloid process
  • Third metacarpal - Third metacarpal styloid process
  • Tibia and Fibula - Tibial process, fibular process.
  • 5th metatarsal of the foot - also known as the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal
