Styloid

The arms were different, appendages in which they could see the bulge of muscle, the ripple of tendons, the knot at the base of the wrist known as the styloid process of ulna. ❋ Steve Giegerich (2001)

Eventually one may want to compare the qualities of the pulse in three positions so that immediately next to the index finger and over the styloid process is where the middle finger will naturally fall and next to it the ring finger. ❋ JOHN LUST (2003)

The position of the middle finger over the styloid process indicates the condition of the middle of the body including the stomach, spleen, and liver. ❋ JOHN LUST (2003)

It ascends, under cover of the parotid gland, on the styloid process of the temporal bone, to the groove between the cartilage of the ear and the mastoid process, immediately above which it divides into its auricular and occipital branches. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The fibers end at the upper third of the forearm in a flat tendon, which runs along the lateral border of the radius, beneath the Abductor pollicis longus and Extensor pollicis brevis; it then passes beneath the dorsal carpal ligament, where it lies in a groove on the back of the radius common to it and the Extensor carpi radialis brevis, immediately behind the styloid process. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The base of the metacarpal bone of the thumb, however, is prominent dorsally, distal to the styloid process of the radius; the body of the bone is easily palpable, ending at the head in a flattened prominence, in front of which are the sesamoid bones. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The fibers end above the middle of the forearm in a flat tendon, which is inserted into the lateral side of the base of the styloid process of the radius. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It is attached by its apex to a depression between the styloid process and the head of the ulna; and by its base, which is thin, to the prominent edge of the radius, which separates the ulnar notch from the carpal articular surface. ❋ Unknown (1918)

From its cartilage are developed the styloid process, stylohyoid ligament, and lesser cornu of the hyoid bone. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It arises from the medial side of the base of the styloid process, passes downward along the side of the pharynx between the Constrictores superior and medius, and spreads out beneath the mucous membrane. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The hyoid bone is shaped like a horseshoe, and is suspended from the tips of the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the stylohyoid ligaments. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The position of the radial artery in the forearm is represented by a line from the lateral margin of the Biceps tendon in the center of the anticubital fossa to the medial side of the front of the styloid process of the radius when the limb is in the position of supination. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The lateral eminence consists of the Brachioradialis and the Extensores carpi radiales longus and brevis, and descends from the lateral supracondylar ridge in the direction of the styloid process of the radius. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The position of the wrist-joint can be indicated by drawing a curved line, with its convexity upward, between the styloid processes of the radius and ulna; the summit of the convexity is about 1 cm. above the center of a straight line joining the two processes. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Higher up, it is separated from the external carotid by the Styloglossus and Stylopharyngeus, the tip of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of the vagus. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The dorsal aspect of its base presents on its radial side a pyramidal eminence, the styloid process, which extends upward behind the capitate; immediately distal to this is a rough surface for the attachment of the Extensor carpi radialis brevis. ❋ Unknown (1918)

—The stylomandibular ligament is a specialized band of the cervical fascia, which extends from near the apex of the styloid process of the temporal bone to the angle and posterior border of the ramus of the mandible, between the Masseter and Pterygoideus internus. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The posterior auricular artery (a. auricularis posterior) (Fig. 508) is small and arises from the external carotid, above the Digastricus and Stylohyoideus, opposite the apex of the styloid process. ❋ Unknown (1918)

From the part which passes under the parotid gland a strong band extends upward to the styloid process, forming the stylomandibular ligament. ❋ Unknown (1918)
