| ligamenta glenohumeralia | Three fibrous bands that reinforce the anterior part of the articular capsule of the shoulder joint; they are in continuity with the glenoid labrum at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and blend with the fibrous capsule as it attaches to the anatomic neck of the humerus. Synonym: ligamenta glenohumeralia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ligamenta intercarpalia | Three sets of short fibrous bands that bind together the two rows of carpal bones; according to their location they are named dorsal intercarpal ligament (ligamentum intercarpalia dorsalia), interosseous intercarpal ligament (ligamentum intercarpalia interossea), and palmar intercarpal ligament (ligamentum intercarpalia palmaria). Synonym: ligamenta intercarpalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta intercostalia | The membranous layers between ribs. Synonym: membranae intercostalia, intercostal ligaments, ligamenta intercostalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta intercuneiformia | Fibrous bands that unite the cuneiform bones; they are arranged in three sets: dorsal intercuneiform ligament (ligamentum intercuneiformia dorsalia), interosseous intercuneiform ligament (ligamentum intercuneiformia interossea), and plantar intercuneiform ligament (ligamentum intercuneiformia plantaria). Synonym: ligamenta intercuneiformia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ligamenta meniscofemorale | One of two ligaments that extend from the posterior part of the lateral meniscus to the lateral surface of the medial meniscus: anterior meniscofemoral ligament and posterior meniscofemoral ligament. Synonym: ligamenta meniscofemorale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metacarpalia dorsalia | Fibrous bands connecting the dorsal aspects of the bases of metacarpals two to five. Synonym: ligamenta metacarpalia dorsalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metacarpalia interossea | Fibrous bands connecting the bases of metacarpals two to five; they extend between the dorsal and palmar metacarpal ligaments. Synonym: ligamenta metacarpalia interossea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metacarpalia palmaria | Fibrous bands connecting the palmar aspects of the bases of metacarpals two to five. Synonym: ligamenta metacarpalia palmaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metatarsalia dorsalia | Fibrous bands that connect the dorsal aspects of the bases of the metatarsals. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia dorsalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metatarsalia interossea | Fibrous bands that connect the bases of the metatarsals; they extend between the dorsal and plantar metatarsal ligaments. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia interossea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta metatarsalia plantaria | Fibrous bands connecting the plantar aspects of the bases of the metatarsals. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia plantaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta navicularicuneiformia | See: dorsal cuneonavicular ligaments, plantar cuneonavicular ligaments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta ossiculorum auditus | The ligaments connecting the ear bones with one another and with the walls of the tympanic cavity. Synonym: ligamenta ossiculorum auditus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamenta palmaria | The fibrocartilaginous plates, one located on the anterior aspect of each metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint, that are firmly attached to the bases of the phalanges and the heads of the next proximal bones; they are grooved to accommodate the long flexor tendons. Synonym: ligamenta palmaria, accessory volar ligaments. (05 Mar 2000) |
