Which of the following statements is false concerning bones?

The statement regarding a foramen being a projection for tendon or ligament attachment is inaccurate because a foramen is actually a small opening or hole in a bone that typically serves as a passageway for nerves and blood vessels. It does not serve as a projection like a process, but instead is a site that allows other structures to pass through rather than a site of attachment.

In contrast, a process indeed serves as a point for muscle attachment, allowing for the attachment of tendons and ligaments, contributing to movement and structural support. A fossa is correctly defined as an indentation in a bone, providing a surface where other bones or structures may articulate. Similarly, a tuberosity refers to a raised area on a bone surface, which also acts as a site for muscular or ligamentous attachment. Thus, the correct understanding of these terms reinforces why the first statement is misleading and illustrates the inaccuracies inherent in the concept of a foramen.
