Derivatives

ligamental

adjective lɪɡəˈmɛnt(ə)lˌlɪɡəˈmɛn(t)l

Anatomy

As the ligamental area overgrows the hinge plate, the dorsal parts of the oldest hinge teeth are resorbed and the hinge sockets are filled up with a fibrous prismatic texture.
Example sentencesExamples
- The articular surface of the head lacks the ligamental fossa.
- In the duplivincular ligament system, the lamellar ligament is stretched between the ligamental areas on the two valves, exerting a force to open the valves, while the fibrous ligament acts passively along the hinge axis.
- This could well be applicable to to the ligamental articulations of fossil crinoids.
- Therefore, in larger shells, only the latest built ligamental chevrons and the ventral ends of the older ones remain functional.

ligamentary

adjective lɪɡəˈmɛnt(ə)ri

Anatomy

ligamentous

adjective lɪɡəˈmɛntəs

Anatomy

When all support is disrupted or detached, the distal clavicle loses all ligamentous connection, allowing it to rise superiorly.
Example sentencesExamples
- Stability of the wrist depends on the geometry of the individual carpal bones and the ligamentous interconnections that control movement of one bone on another.
- Radiographically documented cervical spine injuries were considered clinically insignificant only if they were isolated and no evidence of other bone injury or ligamentous or spinal cord injury existed.
- In other words, the stiffer the brace and its interface with the foot, the greater the proportion of the external rotation moment the brace will resist and the less the peroneal muscles and lateral ligamentous tissues have to resist.
- Both methods found all fractures, but the MRI found some significant ligamentous and carpal instabilities.

Origin

Late Middle English: from Latin ligamentum 'bond', from ligare 'to bind'.

rely from Middle English:
The word rely is from Old French relier ‘bind together’, from Latin ligare ‘bind’. The original sense was ‘gather together’, later ‘turn to, associate with’, which then led to ‘depend upon with confidence’. The same Latin root gives us liable [1642] originally meaning ‘bound by law’, ligament (late 16th century), and ligature (Middle English), both originally used for anything that ties.
