Anatomy. 196 SPECIAL ANATOMY OF THE SKELETON semilunar, cuneiform, and pisiform; those of the lower row, enumerated in the same order, are the trapezium, trapezoid, os magnum, and unciform. Common Characters of the Carpal Bones.—Each bone (excepting the pisi- form) presents six surfaces. Of these the anterior, palmar, or volar, and the posterior or dorsal are rough for hgamentous attachment, the dorsal surface being the broader, except in the scaphoid and semilunar. The superior or proximal and inferior or distal are articular, the superior generally convex,

The structure of all is similar, consisting of cancellous tissue enclosed in a layer of compact Vad'^'' With 1 Fig. 152.— Diagram to show articulations Bones of the Upper Row.—The scaphoid or navicular bone {os naviculare manus) (Fig. ) is the largest bone of the first row. It is situated at the upper and outer part of the carpus, its long axis being from above downward, outward, and forward. For radius For semilunar Tuberosity For trapesimn.
