Interosseous Ligament (other)
A Interosseous ligament can refer to: * Dorsal intertarsal ligaments * Interosseous ligaments of tarsus * Bifurcated ligament * Interosseous sacroiliac ligament * Interosseous intercarpal ligaments * Interosseous intercuneiform ligaments * Interosseous metatarsal ligaments It is sometimes used interchangeably with interosseous membrane An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint. Interosseous membranes in the human body: * Interosseous membrane of forearm * Interosseo ...

Dorsal Intertarsal Ligaments
Dorsal (from Latin ''dorsum'' ‘back’) may refer to: * Dorsal (anatomy), an anatomical term of location referring to the back or upper side of an organism or parts of an organism * Dorsal, positioned on top of an aircraft's fuselage * Dorsal consonant, a consonant articulated with the back of the tongue * Dorsal fin A dorsal fin is a fin on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates. Dorsal fins have evolved independently several times through convergent evolution adapting to marine environments, so the fins are not all homologous. They are found ..., the fin located on the back of a fish or aircraft * Dorsal transcription factor, a maternally synthesized transcription factor {{disambig ...

Bifurcated Ligament
The bifurcated ligament (internal calcaneocuboid, interosseous ligament or bifurcate ligament) is a strong band, attached behind to the deep hollow on the upper surface of the calcaneus and dividing in front in a Y-shaped manner into a calcaneocuboid and a calcaneonavicular part. * The calcaneocuboid ligament (''ligamentum calcaneocuboideum'') is fixed to the medial side of the cuboid and forms one of the principal bonds between the first and second rows of the tarsal bones. * The calcaneonavicular ligament (''ligamentum calcaneonaviculare'') is attached to the lateral side of the navicular. (Note this is NOT the spring ligament which is commonly called the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament). It is commonly injured in "sprain-type" inversion injuries producing an avulsion fracture at the anterolateral process of the calcaneus In humans and many other primates, the calcaneus (; from the Latin ''calcaneus'' or ''calcaneum'', meaning heel; : calcanei or calcanea) or heel bone ...

Interosseous Sacroiliac Ligament
The interosseous sacroiliac ligament, also known as the axial interosseous ligament, is a ligament of the sacroiliac joint that lies deep to the posterior ligament. It connects the tuberosities of the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis. Structure The interosseous sacroiliac ligament consists of a series of short, strong fibers connecting the tuberosities of the sacrum and ilium. It is one of the strongest ligaments in the body. Function The major function of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament is to keep the sacrum and ilium together. This prevents abduction or distraction of the sacroiliac joint. It also helps to bear the weight of the thorax, upper limbs, head, and neck The neck is the part of the body in many vertebrates that connects the head to the torso. It supports the weight of the head and protects the nerves that transmit sensory and motor information between the brain and the rest of the body. Addition .... This is performed by the nearly horizontal direct ...

Interosseous Intercarpal Ligaments
The interosseous intercarpal ligaments are short fibrous bands that connect the adjacent surfaces of the various carpal bones The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist (carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm. The terms "carpus" and "carpal" are derived from the Latin wikt:carpus#Latin, carpus and the Greek language, Greek wikt:καρπός .... Hand Ligaments {{ligament-stub ...

Interosseous Intercuneiform Ligaments
The interosseous intercuneiform ligaments are short fibrous bands that connect the adjacent surfaces of the medial and intermediate, and the intermediate and lateral cuneiform bones. It is one of the 3 ligaments responsible for maintaining the transverse arch of the foot together with the interosseous ligaments of metatarsals and the transverse metatarsal ligament The transverse metatarsal ligament is a narrow band which runs across and connects together the heads of all the metatarsal bones. It is blended anteriorly with the plantar (glenoid) ligaments of the metatarsophalangeal articulations. Its plantar .... Ligaments of the lower limb {{ligament-stub ...

Interosseous Metatarsal Ligaments
The interosseous metatarsal ligaments are ligaments in the foot The foot (: feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is an organ at the terminal part of the leg made up o ....
