BONE DEPRESSIONS - LESSON 207
BONE DEPRESSIONS: They are the hollow regions or the openings found in the bones. The bone depressions attach the bone to the other bone. They serve as the route or passageways for nerves and blood vessels. There are five types of bone depressions. They are fossa, sinus, sulcus, fissure, and foramen. Now will learn the types of bone depressions one by one.
