| calcaneocuboid joint | A somewhat saddle-shaped synovial joint between the anterior surface of the calcaneus and the posterior surface of the cuboid. This is the lateral element of the compound transverse tarsal joint. Synonym: articulatio calcaneocuboidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| capitular joint | The synovial joint between a rib and bodies of two adjacent vertebrae; the joint cavity is divided by an intra-articular ligament which attaches to the intervertebral disk; the first, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ribs articulate with only one vertebra. Synonym: articulatio capitis costae, capitular joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiocarpal joint | 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) |
| veins of temporomandibular joint | Several small tributaries to the retromandibular vein from the temporomandibular joint. Synonym: venae articulares temporomandibulares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mandibular joint | <anatomy, dentistry> The joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. (12 Jan 1998) |
| manubriosternal joint | The early union, by hyaline cartilage, of the manubrium and the body of the sternum, which later becomes a symphysial type of joint. Synonym: synchondrosis manubriosternalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpometacarpal joint of thumb | The saddle-shaped synovial articulation between the trapezium and the base of the first metacarpal bone. Synonym: articulatio carpometacarpea pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilaginous joint | 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) |
| ginglymoid joint | A uniaxial joint in which a broad, transversely cylindrical convexity on one bone fits into a corresponding concavity on the other, allowing of motion in one plane only, as in the elbow. Synonym: ginglymus, ginglymoid joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gliding joint | A synovial joint in which the opposing surfaces are nearly planes and in which there is only a slight, gliding motion, as in the intermetacarpal joints. Synonym: articulatio plana, arthrodia, arthrodial articulation, arthrodial joint, gliding joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial ligament of talocrural joint | <anatomy> Compound ligament consisting of four component ligaments which pass downward from the medial malleolus of the tibia to the tarsal bones: 1) tibionavicular ligament (pars tibionavicularis ), 2) tibiocalcaneal ligament (pars tibiocalcanea ), 3) anterior tibiotalar ligament (pars tibiotalaris anterior ), and 4) posterior tibiotalar ligament (pars tibiotalaris posterior ). Synonym: ligamentum mediale articulationis talocruralis, ligamentum deltoideum, medial ligament of talocrural joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median atlantoaxial joint | A pivot synovial joint between the dens of the axis and the ring formed by the anterior arch and the transverse ligament of the atlas. Synonym: articulatio atlantoaxialis mediana, Cruveilhier's joint, middle atlantoepistrophic joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peg-and-socket joint | <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) |
| gompholic joint | <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) |
| charcot's joint | A joint that is deprived of any pain or position sense due to severe osteoarthritis. May also occur as the result of tabes dorsalis, diabetic neuropathy, amyloidosis or leprosy. Often treated with surgical fusion. (27 Sep 1997) |
