. Quain's Elements of anatomy. Kyrklund, Arch, f, Anat., 1879. THE WRIST-JOINT AND ARTICULATIONS OF THE CARPUS. 173 The posterior ligament extends obliquely downwards and inwards, from theextremity of the radius to the posterior surface of the first row of the carpal bones,especially the pyramidal bone ; its fibres are prolonged some distance on the surfaceof the carpal bones. The synovial membrane is simple and lines the ligaments between the articularsurfaces. The carpal articulatioxs.—The bones of the carpus, the pisiform excepted,are so arranged in two rows, that while only slight movement can take place betweenthe members of each row, a considerable amount of movement is possible betweenthe two rows. The surface presented by the first row to the second is concave bothtransversely and from before backwards in the greater part of its extent, but in itsouter part it is formed by the convex part of the scaphoid bone. The opposingsurface of the second row is concavo-convex from without inwards, the concavity A B.
