Second Row.—The dorsal ligaments connect the great multangular(trapezium) with the lesser multangular (trapezoid), the latter withthe OS capitatum (magnum) and this with the oshamatum (unciform).

The articulation between the first and second rows of carpal bonesis surrounded by a short capsidar ligament. The ventral, or volar ligament {lig. carpi radiatum), extends betweenthe two rows on their ventral surfaces. The dorsal ligament is thinner but similarly arranged. THE CARPAL ARTICULATION 127 The radial collateral carpal ligament extends between the lateralsurfaces of the navicular and greater multangular bones. The ulnar collateral ligament extends between the medial surfacesof the triquetral and hamate bones. ?a a Jr. ,.. K (. « t^ S K. Two synovial tnembranes are present, one between the pisiformand triquetral bones (already mentioned) and the other is betweenthe two rows with extensions between the various bones forming alabyrinthine cavity. Movements.—Between the first and second rows, flexion, extensionand slight rotation. 128 SYNDESMOLOGY CARPOMETACARPAL ARTICULATIONS The articulation of the first (thumb) metacarpal with the greatmultangular bone is one of reciprocal reception. It permits of thegreatest movement of any of these joints and a loose capsulesurrounds the joint. Movements.—Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circum-duction. The articulations between the other metacarpal and carpal bonesare of the arthrodial variety. The dorsal ligaments are quite distinct and extend between thedorsal surfaces of the bones concerned. The ventral, or volar ligaments are similarly arranged. Interosseous ligaments extend between the capitate and hamatebones and the adjacent surfaces of th
