| Term | Definition |
|---|
| Interphalangeal articulations | Joints between phalanges |
| Interphalangeal articulations | Are synovial/diathrotic joints with hinge type movement that allows flexion and extension |
| Interphalangeal articulations | Noted as either proximal or distal, by digit number and either R or L |
| Metacarpophalangeal articulations | Articulation of the phalanges and the metacarpals; i.e. knuckles |
| Metacarpophalangeal articulations | Are synovial, condyloid type joints (have movement of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction) |
| Carpometacarpal articulations | Joints in the wrist that articulate the carpal bones and the metacarpals; are synovial |
| Intercarpal articulations | Can be subdivided into three sets of articulations: Those of the proximal row of carpal bones, those of the distal row of carpal bones, and those of the two rows with each other; diathrodial with gliding movement |
| Radiocarpal articulations | Is formed by the radius, radioulnar disk, and 3 bones in the proximal carpal row: the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum; diathrodial with gliding movement; wrist joint proper |
| Radioulnar articulations | Distal and proximal joints between the radius and ulna that allow movements of supination and pronation |
| Elbow joint | Includes proximal radioulnar articulation along with articulations between the humerus and the radius and ulna |
| Elbow joint | Three joints are enclosed in a capsule; synovial with hinge movement |
