phalanx bone
phalanx

The second toe has three phalanx bones: the first, middle and third.

Rear dewclaws often have no phalanx bones and are attached by skin only.

Includes the bottom of the middle phalanx bone.

The trick is generally performed on the first phalanx bone of each finger of one hand.

All other annular pulleys are attached directly to the phalanx bones.

Below these, the arrangement of sesamoid and phalanx bones is the same as in the forelimbs.

Also, the fourth and fifth digits of the forelimb each bear one fewer phalanx bone.

Likewise, the tipmost primaries attach to the phalanx bones.

Phalanx bones are commonly bone fractured.

Together with the fourteen phalanx bones of the fingers these metacarpal bones form five rays or poly-articulated chains.

In anatomy, phalanx bones (plural phalanges) are bones that form the skeleton of the toes and the fingers.

It is sometimes incorrectly called hypodactyly or confused with aphalangia, the absence of the phalanx bone on one or (commonly) more digits.

Even-toed ungulates, such as the giraffe, uses both their third and fourth toes but a single completely fused phalanx bone for weight-bearing.

This might involve extending the stainless steel plate farther in bracing the proximal phalanx to the middle phalanx bone, Richardson said.

Abrictosaurus also had smaller, less powerful forelimbs than Heterodontosaurus and one fewer phalanx bone in both the fourth and fifth digits of the forelimb.

From there, it forms a palmar continuation of the articular surface of the phalanx bone and its inner surface thus adds to the articular surface during extension.

The excess skin from the shortening of the phalanx bones becomes folded transversely, as if retracted into one another like opera glasses, hence the description la main en lorgnette.

The uniqueness of brachytelephalangy in KS results in distinctively broadened and shortened first through fourth distal phalanges, while the fifth distal phalanx bone remains unaffected.

Its flexible attachment to the phalanx bone not only prevents it from restricting joint movements, but also prevents the long flexor tendons from being pinched in the joint.

It was originally described from a distal left tibiotarsus piece (specimen BMNH A843); a toe phalanx bone found soon thereafter was tentatively assigned to this bird.

Human hands contain fourteen digital bones, also called phalanges, or phalanx bones: two in the thumb (the thumb has no middle phalanx) and three in each of the four fingers.

The capsule, extensor tendon, and skin are very thin and lax dorsally, allowing for both phalanx bones to flex more than 100 until the base of the middle phalanx makes contact with the condylar notch of the proximal phalanx.

Increased powers are attributed to sculptures which are crafted from materials of significant origin, such as the last phalanx bone of the little finger, a bone from a dead baby, wood taken from a dead person's coffin, or a crucifix that belonged to someone recently deceased.

The shallow grooves on the trochleae allowed for considerable sideways mobility of the toes; if the single phalanx bone known is assigned correctly to this species (it is the best match in size by far), it is very wide at the proximal end and tapers noticeably distad.

A finger phalanx bone found at the site and examined by forensic anthropologist Karen Ramey Burns has been examined by Dr. Cecil Lewis at the Molecular Anthropology Laboratories at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, USA.
