Behind the tuberculum sell is a deep depression, the sella turcica, containing the fossa hypophyseos, which lodges the hypophysis, and presents on its anterior wall the middle clinoid processes.
The sella turcica is bound in front by the tuberculum sellae and behind by the dorsum sellae.
Located anteriorly to the hypophyseal fossa is the tuberculum sellae.
On the fossil the "tuberculum supracondylare ventrale" is flat unlike that of the modern species.
In both cervical vertebrae, the tuberculum is notably slender anteroposteriorly, especially in comparison with the capitulum.
While at the neutral position the tuberculum minus occludes the view.
The lower part of the medulla, immediately lateral to the fasciculus cuneatus, is marked by another longitudinal elevation known as the tuberculum cinereum.
It was formerly thought to be a reaction to the tuberculum bacillus.
