In anatomy, the outer point or tip of the shoulder bone (acromion process).
From Greek 'exo-' (outside) + 'omos' (shoulder), this anatomical term was used by ancient Greek physicians and surgeons to precisely identify landmarks on the skeleton for surgical procedures.
Ancient Greek doctors had to be architects of the human body, and they created a precise vocabulary for every bone bump and landmark. The 'exomion' is that bony point you can feel sticking out at the tip of your shoulder—essential for anatomists and surgeons.
