Medial2
The mastoid notch is a deep groove located on the medial side of the mastoid process, for the connection of the digastric muscle . (earthslab.com)
It develops when suppuration products escape through the mastoid process (medial side) at the digastric fossa [1]. (symptoma.com)
Process12
The mastoid process is important to students of fossil humans because it occurs regularly and in the specific form described only in hominids ( i.e., members of the genera Homo and Australopithecus ). (britannica.com)
The development of the mastoid process is apparently related to the upright posture of hominids and the consequent evolutionary realignment of the head in relation to the neck. (britannica.com)
Tissue thickness, superimposing shadows, and awkward patient positioning make the mastoid process a difficult body part to radiograph. (ce4rt.com)
