| 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) |
