tubercles
Tiny rounded projections
Tubercles are small rounded projections, bumps, or nodules on a surface.
In anatomy, they're bony prominences where muscles or ligaments attach, or small lesions characteristic of tuberculosis.
In botany, they're wartlike growths on roots or stems.
The word describes any knobby protuberance: The whale's flippers were covered with tubercles.
