| talar articular surface of calcaneus | Any of the three facets of the calcaneus that articulate with the overlying talus; the talar articular surface anterior and middle talar articular surface contribute to the talocalcaneonavicular joint and are separated by the tarsal sinus from the posterior talar articular surface which enters into the subtalar joint. Synonym: facies articularis talaris calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |

| thyroidal articular surface of cricoid | One of two small circular facets on the lateral surface of the cricoid cartilage near the inferior margin of the junction of the arch and lamina for articulation with the inferior horns of the thyroid cartilage. Synonym: facies articularis thyroidea cricoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular articular surface of tibia | The flat circular articular facet on the inferior and lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the tibia for articulation with the head of the fibula. Synonym: facies articularis fibularis tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial articular facies of clavicle | Synonym: acromial articular surface of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular | <orthopaedics, rheumatology> Of or pertaining to a joint. Origin: L. Articularis (18 Nov 1997) |
| articular branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular capsule | A sac enclosing a joint, formed by an outer fibrous articular capsule and an inner synovial membrane. Synonym: capsula articularis, joint capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular cartilage | The cartilage covering the articular surfaces of the bones participating in a synovial joint. Synonym: cartilago articularis, arthrodial cartilage, diarthrodial cartilage, investing cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular cavity | A joint cavity, the potential space bounded by the synovial membrane and articular cartilages of all synovial joints. Normally, the articular cavity contains only sufficient synovial fluid to lubricate the internal surfaces. Synonym: cavitas articularis, cavum articulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular circumference of radius | The portion of the head of the radius that articulates with the radial notch of the ulna. Synonym: circumferentia articularis radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular circumference of ulna | The portion of the head of the ulna that articulates with the ulnar notch of the radius. Synonym: circumferentia articularis ulnae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular corpuscles | Encapsulated nerve terminations within joint capsules. Synonym: corpuscula articularia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular crescent | A crescent-shaped intra-articular fibrocartilage found in certain joints. Synonym: meniscus articularis, articular crescent, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular crests | Crests formed by the fusion of articular processes of all the sacral vertebrae. Synonym: articular crests, cristae sacrales intermediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular disc | A plate or ring of fibrocartilage attached to the joint capsule and separating the articular surfaces of the bones for a varying distance, sometimes completely; it serves to adapt two articular surfaces that are not entirely congruent. Synonym: discus articularis, articular disk, fibrocartilago interarticularis, fibroplate, interarticular fibrocartilage, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
