coronoid
Hooked bone process
Coronoid describes a curved, beak-like projection on a bone.
The coronoid process of the mandible is a pointed projection where jaw muscles attach.
The coronoid process of the ulna forms part of the elbow joint.
The term appears almost exclusively in anatomical contexts: The fracture involved the coronoid process.
