Intercarpal joints. Vertical section through the joints at the wrist, showing the synovial cavities. Ligaments of wrist. Anterior view. The intercarpal joints (joints of the carpal bones of the wrist) can be subdivided into three sets of joints (also called articulations): Those of the proximal row of carpal bones, those of the distal row of ...
In the human body, the carpal tunnel or carpal canal is a flattened body cavity on the flexor (palmar/volar) side of the wrist, bounded by the carpal bones and flexor retinaculum. It forms the passageway that transmits the median nerve and the tendons of the extrinsic flexor muscles of the hand from the forearm to the hand. [1]
The facet joint is the joint between the inferior articular process (labeled at bottom) and the superior articular process (labeled at top) of the subsequent vertebra. The facet joints (also zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae.
In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; [1] [2] (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus [2] and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of ...
The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals.The vertebral column is the defining and eponymous characteristic of the vertebrate endoskeleton, where the notochord (an elastic collagen-wrapped glycoprotein rod) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of mineralized irregular bones ...
FMA. 42302. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The palmar intercarpal ligaments are fibrous bands that extend transversely across the palmar surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting adjacent carpals. These are the ligaments that define the structure of the ligamentous palmar arch.
Orange: Temporal bone (2) Green: Occipital bone (1) Red: Ethmoid bone (1) In human anatomy, the neurocranium, also known as the braincase, brainpan, or brain-pan, [ 1 ][ 2 ] is the upper and back part of the skull, which forms a protective case around the brain. [ 3 ] In the human skull, the neurocranium includes the calvaria or skullcap.
Articulations of the vertebral column. Articulation of the atlas with the epistropheus or axis. Articulations of the vertebral column with the cranium. Articulation of the mandible. Costovertebral articulations. Sternocostal articulations. Articulation of the manubrium and body of the sternum. Articulation of the vertebral column with the pelvis.
