| 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 disk | 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) |
| articular eminence of temporal bone | Articular eminence of the temporal bone which bounds the mandibular fossa anteriorly; it forms the anterior root of the zygomatic process; it is enclosed by the articular capsule of the temporomandibular joint with the articular fossa; the head of the mandible (and intervening articular disc) move onto the articular tubercle to allow full depression of mandible (opening of mouth). Synonym: tuberculum articulare ossis temporalis, articular eminence of temporal bone, eminentia articularis ossis temporalis, tuber zygomaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular facet | A relatively small articular surface of a bone, especially a vertebra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular fossa of temporal bone | A deep hollow in the squamous portion of the temporal bone at the root of the zygoma, in which rests the condyle of the mandible. Synonym: cavitas glenoidalis, fossa mandibularis, articular fossa of temporal bone, glenoid cavity, glenoid fossa, glenoid surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular fracture | A fracture involving the joint surface of a bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular labrum | A fibrocartilaginous lip around the margin of the concave portion of some joints. Synonym: labrum articulare, articular lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular lamella | The compact layer of bone on its articular surface that is firmly attached to the overlying articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular leprosy | A late stage of anaesthetic leprosy. Synonym: mutilating leprosy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular lip | A fibrocartilaginous lip around the margin of the concave portion of some joints. Synonym: labrum articulare, articular lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular margin | A ring of fibrocartilage attached to the margin of the glenoid cavity of the scapula to increase its depth. Synonym: labrum glenoidale, articular margin, circumferential cartilage, glenoid ligament, glenoidal lip, ligamentum glenoidale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular meniscus | A crescent-shaped intra-articular fibrocartilage found in certain joints. Synonym: meniscus articularis, articular crescent, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular muscle | <anatomy> A muscle that inserts directly onto the capsule of a joint, acting to retract the capsule in certain movements. Synonym: musculus articularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
