Question

A)Facet
B)Sinus
C)Fossa
D)Meatus

Accepted Answer

A fossa is a shallow depression or groove on the surface of a bone, often serving as an attachment site for muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Facets are smooth surfaces on a bone that articulate with another bone, sinuses are air-filled spaces within bones, and meatuses are tube-like passageways through a bone (such as the nasal meatus in the ethmoid bone).
