| posterior articular surface of dens | The facet on the posterior surface of the dens of the axis that articulates with the transverse ligament of the atlas. Synonym: facies articularis posterior dentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| posterior talar articular surface of calcaneus | Articulates with talus (subtalar joint) posterior to sinus tarsi. Synonym: facies articularis talaris posterior calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cuboidal articular surface of calcaneus | The saddle-shaped surface on the anterior end of the calcaneus for articulation with the cuboid bone. Synonym: facies articularis cuboidea calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| navicular articular surface of talus | The large convex surface on the head of the talus for articulation with the navicular bone. Synonym: facies articularis navicularis tali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternal articular surface of clavicle | The oval surface on the sternal end of the clavicle that articulates with the fibrocartilaginous disk of the sternoclavicular joint. Synonym: facies articularis sternalis claviculae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior articular surface of tibia | The articular surface on the proximal end of the tibia that is divided into medial and lateral portions for articulation with the condyles of the femur. Synonym: facies articularis superior tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior articular surface of tibia | The quadrilateral surface on the distal end of the tibia for articulation with the talus; it is concave anteroposteriorly and broader anteriorly. Synonym: facies articularis inferior tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| arytenoid | <anatomy> Ladle-shaped; applied to two small cartilages of the larynx, and also to the glands, muscles, etc, connected with them. The cartilages are attached to the cricoid cartilage and connected with the vocal cords. Origin: Gr. Shaped like a ladle; a ladle + form. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| arytenoid glands | A large number of mixed glands in the mucous membrane of the larynx; they are called, according to their situation, anterior, middle, and posterior. Synonym: glandulae laryngeae, laryngeal glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arytenoid swelling | Paired primordial elevations, on either side of the embryonic larynx, within which the arytenoid cartilages are formed. Brain swelling, a pathologic entity, localised or generalised, characterised by an increase in bulk of brain tissue, due to expansion of the intravascular (congestion) or extravascular (oedema) compartments that may coexist or may occur separately and be clinically indistinguishable; clinical manifestations depend on disturbed neuronal function due to local swelling, shifting of intracranial structures, and the effects of intracranial hypertension or circulatory disturbance.

| oblique arytenoid | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, muscular process of arytenoid cartilage; insertion, summit of arytenoid cartilage of opposite side and continuing as the aryepiglottic muscle in the aryepiglottic fold to the epiglottis; action, narrows the interarytenoid portion of the rima glottidis; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal. Synonym: musculus arytenoideus obliquus, arytenoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse arytenoid muscle | <anatomy> A band of muscular fibres passing between the two arytenoid cartilages posteriorly; action, narrows the intercartilaginous portion of the rima glottidis; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal. Synonym: musculus arytenoideus transversus, arytenoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
