| articulation disorders | Disorders of speech sound production characterised by substitution, omission, and distortion of sounds. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| articulation of pisiform bone | The synovial joint between the pisiform and triquetrum; it is separate from the other intercarpal joints. Synonym: articulatio ossis pisiformis, articulation of pisiform bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atlanto-occipital articulation | <anatomy> A condylar synovial joint between the superior articular facets of the atlas and the condyles of the occipital bone. Synonym: articulatio atlanto-occipitalis, atlanto-occipital articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced articulation | The simultaneous contacting of the upper and lower teeth on the right and left and in the anterior and posterior occlusal areas in centric and eccentric positions within the functional range; used primarily in reference to the mouth, but also arranged and observed on articulators, developed to prevent a tipping or rotating of the denture bases in relation to the supporting structures. Synonym: balanced articulation, balanced bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bicondylar articulation | A synovial joint in which two more or less distinct, rounded surfaces of one bone articulate with shallow depressions on another bone. Synonym: articulatio bicondylaris, bicondylar articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiocarpal articulation | The synovial joint between the distal end of the radius and its articular disk and the proximal row of carpal bones with the exception of the pisiform bone. Synonym: articulatio radiocarpea, carpal articulation, carpal joints, radiocarpal articulation, radiocarpal joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpal articulation | The synovial joint between the distal end of the radius and its articular disk and the proximal row of carpal bones with the exception of the pisiform bone. Synonym: articulatio radiocarpea, carpal articulation, carpal joints, radiocarpal articulation, radiocarpal joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilaginous articulation | A joint in which the apposed bony surfaces are united by cartilage; they are divided into synchondroses and symphyses; in synchondroses, the cartilage connecting the apposed surfaces is, as a rule, ultimately converted to bone, as between epiphyses and diaphyses of long bones; exceptions are the sternal synchondroses and the cartilaginous union of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum; in symphyses the bones are connected by a flat disk of fibrocartilage which remains unossified throughout life; e.g., the intervertebral disk and the symphysis pubis. Synonym: articulatio cartilaginis, cartilaginous articulation, junctura cartilaginea, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glenohumeral articulation | A ball-and-socket synovial joint between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula. Synonym: articulatio humeri, glenohumeral articulation, humeral articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peg-and-socket articulation | <anatomy> A form of union or immovable articulation where a hard part is received into the cavity of a bone, as the teeth into the jaws. Origin: NL, fr. Gr, prop, a bolting together, fr. To fasten with bolts or nails, bolt, nail: cf. F. Gomphose. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| compound articulation | A joint composed of three or more skeletal elements, or in which two anatomically separate joints function as a unit. For example, the telonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints act together as the compound transverse tarsal joint. Synonym: articulatio complexa, articulatio composita, composite joint, compound articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| condylar articulation | A modified ball-and-socket synovial joint in which the joint surfaces are elongated or ellipsoidal; it is a biaxial joint, i.e., two axes of motion at right angles to each other, the radiocarpal being an example. Synonym: articulatio ellipsoidea, articulatio condylaris, condylar articulation, condylar joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| confluent articulation | A tendency to run the syllables together in speech. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cricoarytenoid articulation | The synovial joint between the base of each arytenoid cartilage and the upper border of the lamina of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: articulatio cricoarytenoidea, cricoarytenoid articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cricothyroid articulation | The synovial articulation between the inferior horn of the thyroid cartilage and the side of the cricoid cartilage. Synonym: articulatio cricothyroidea, cricothyroid articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
