  2. Dorsal radiocarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_radiocarpal_ligament

    The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (posterior ligament) is less thick and strong than its volar counterpart, and has a proximal attachment to the posterior border of the distal radius. Its fibers run medially and inferiorly to form a distal attachment at the dorsal surfaces of the scaphoid (navicular bone of the hand), lunate, and triquetral.

  3. Radius (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_(bone)

    This end of the bone has three non-articular surfaces – volar, dorsal, and lateral. The volar surface, rough and irregular, affords attachment to the volar radiocarpal ligament. The dorsal surface is convex, affords attachment to the dorsal radiocarpal ligament, and is marked by three grooves. Enumerated from the lateral side:

  4. Dog anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_anatomy

    This ligament is analogous in function (but different in exact structural detail) to the nuchal ligament found in ungulates. [15] This ligament allows dogs to carry their heads while running long distances, such as while following scent trails with their nose to the ground, without expending much energy. [15]

  5. Carpal bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_bones

    There are four groups of ligaments in the region of the wrist: [8] The ligaments of the wrist proper which unite the ulna and radius with the carpus: the ulnar and radial collateral ligaments; the palmar and dorsal radiocarpal ligaments; and the palmar ulnocarpal ligament. (Shown in blue in the figure.)

  6. Radiocarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarpal_ligament

    Radiocarpal ligament can refer to: Dorsal radiocarpal ligament (ligamentum radiocarpale dorsale) Palmar radiocarpal ligament (ligamentum radiocarpale palmare)

  7. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    The palmar intercarpal ligaments are also two, connect the scaphoid and lunate, and the lunate and triangular; they are less strong than the dorsal, and placed very deeply behind the Flexor tendons and the volar radiocarpal ligament. The interosseous intercarpal ligaments are two narrow bundles, one connecting the lunate with the scaphoid, the ...

  8. Triangular fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_fibrocartilage

    During supination, the superficial palmar and the deep dorsal ligaments are tightened, [citation needed] preventing palmar translation of the ulna. In pronation, this is reversed: the superficial dorsal and the deep palmar ligaments are tightened and prevent dorsal translation of the ulna. [citation needed]

  9. Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_carpi_radialis...

    The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2] [3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum , extensor carpi radialis brevis , extensor carpi ulnaris , and extensor digiti minimi ) are ...
