When the apophysis is yet separated from the body of the bone by intervening cartilage, it is called Epiphysis. The apophyses or processes are, at times, distinguished by epithets, expressive of their form: as A. styloid, A. coracoid, &c. Others are not preceded by the word apophysis; as Trochanter, Tuberosity, &c.
