Sentence examples for transverse articulation from inspiring English sources

The prefrontal has a short transverse articulation with the nasal and bears an anterior process as in nemegtosaurids [11], which is extremely long and thin as in Rapetosaurus [12].

The transverse articulation between the basipod and proximal exopod and the rest of the limb prevents an anterior swing.

As soon as the limb is flexed at the transverse articulation the exopod is locked and cannot swing anteriorly; this position was presumably used in the power stroke.

A crucial stabiliser of the atlanto-axial articulation is the transverse ligament and the integrity of this ligament determines the stability or instability of atlas fractures.

(C ) Proximal articular surfaces of the metatarsals of Foot 1, shown in articulation to illustrate transverse arch structure.

The atlanto-axial joints (i.e. C1-C2 joints) allow mobility in flexion, extension, axial rotation and, to a lesser degree, lateral flexion as a result of the biconvex and inherently unstable construct of the joint; it is the ligaments (transverse ligament and alar ligaments) related to this particular articulation which stabilise the joint complex.

The ribs of tetrapods usually show two articulations: the capitulum articulates with the intercentrum whereas the tubercle articulates with the diapophysis (transverse process) of the neural arch ; when the intercentrum has disappeared completely, the capitulum may be in contact with the parapophysis (Fischer, 2010).

The term Jones fracture was later defined as a transverse fracture at the metaphyseal/diaphyseal junction without distal extension beyond the fourth to fifth intermetatarsal articulation [56, 57].

The dorsal articulation of the ribs with the transverse processes is not preserved and elements therefore must have shifted, but the anterior contact with the parapophysis is still preserved.

It exhibits notable saurischian characters as well, such as the long mid-cervical ribs that are subparallel to the neck, a hyposphene-hypantrum articulation in the dorsal vertebrae, enlarged sacral transverse processes, a broad supraacetabular crest, and a medial lamina of the ischium restricted to the proximal one-third of the bone.

The articulation has a stabilization effect on longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot.
