Examples of articulate in the following topics:

  • Tibia and Fibula (The Leg)

    • The tibia and the smaller fibula bones comprise the lower leg and articulate at the knee and ankle.
    • It widens and forms two condyles—the lateral and medial—that articulate with the condyles of the femur.
    • The medial malleolus is a bony projection that articulates with the tarsal bones to form the ankle joint.
    • Laterally, there is the fibular notch that articulates with the fibula.
    • It also articulates with the tarsal bones to form the ankle joint.
  • Ulna and Radius (The Forearm)

    • The forearm contains two bones—the radius and the ulna—that extend in parallel from the elbow, where they articulate with the humerus to the wrist, where they articulate with the carpals.
    • The cornoid process, together with the olecranon, forms the trochlear notch where it articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
    • Laterally to the trochlear notch lies the radial notch, which articulates with the head of the radius to form the proximal radioulnar joint.
    • Distally the radius expands, medially the ulnar notch articulates with the head of the ulnar.
    • Immediately adjacent to the ulnar notch, the radius articulates with the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones to form part of the wrist.
  • Carpals, Metacarpals, and Phalanges (The Hand)

    • The scaphoid and lunate articulate with the radius, and the lunate and triquetrum articulate with the articular disk of the wrist.
    • The trapezium articulates with the scaphoid proximally and the first, thumb, and second metacarpal distally.
    • The trapezoid articulates with the scaphoid proximally and the second metacarpal distally.
    • The capitate articulates with the scaphoid and lunate proximally and the third and fourth metacarpal.
    • The hand contains five metacarpal bones that articulate proximally with the carpals and distally with the proximal phalanges.
  • Structures Used in Voice Production

    • The articulation of consonants occurs at a point of either active or passive articulation, which is a place in the vocal tract where an obstruction stops the sound.
    • The passive place of articulation is the place on the more stationary part of the vocal tract where the articulation occurs.
    • Passive places of articulation include:
    • Active places of articulation include:
    • Places of articulation (active and passive): 1.
  • Articulation

    • (For more audio examples of violin articulations, please see Common Violin Terminology. )
    • A tie is not really an articulation marking.
    • Some articulations may be some combination of staccato, legato, and accent.
    • Plenty of music has no articulation marks at all, or marks on only a few notes.
    • Since there is no articulation between them, they sound like a single note.
  • Humerus (The Upper Arm)

    • Proximally it articulates with the scapula to form the shoulder joint, or glenohumeral joint.
    • Distally, the humerus articulates with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.
    • Distally, the humerus flattens to articulate with the ulna and radius at the elbow joint.
    • The medially located trochlea articulates with the ulna.
    • Located laterally to this is the capitulum that articulates with the radius.
  • Tarsals, Metatarsals, and Phalanges (The Foot)

    • The proximal row contains the talus, which is the most superior of the tarsals and articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint.
    • It articulates with the talus superiorly and anteriorly with the cuboid of the distal group.
    • The intermediate group contains only the navicular bone, which articulates with all of the tarsals—with the exception of the calcaneus.
    • The distal tarsals articulate with the metatarsals and also maintain the transverse arch of the foot.
    • The proximal base articulates with the cuboid bones, and distally with the proximal phalanges, and each metatarsal also articulates laterally with adjacent metatarsals.
  • Articulation and Reflection

    • Smart decides to explore Articulation and Reflection further.
    • After finding out more about Articulation and Reflection, Mrs.
    • Smart realizes that politics are Articulation and Reflection.
    • Good Articulation requires time and practice.
    • Opportunities for Articulation in a safe educational environment with ample time to explain ideas can help develop learners' Articulation skills.
  • Parts of a Vertebra

    • When articulated together the vertebrae form a strong yet flexible structure that encloses the vertebral foramen, or opening, where the spinal cord sits.
    • It also provides a base for numerous muscle attachments and articulations with other bones.
    • The anterior vertebral body which is the point of articulation between the vertebrae.
    • They interact with the zyhapophysis, a socket for the articular processes, of the adjacent vertebrae to make the spine more stable and to facilitate a small degree of articulation.
    • The transverse processes articulate with the ribs in conjunction with the vertebral body.
  • Articulation and Pronunciation

    • Articulation focuses on making individual sounds and pronunciation focuses on stress, rhythm, and intonation of the syllables in the word.
    • The first act of speech is breathing, in which you get air into a storage chamber; second is phonation, the process by which you force air into vibration by the action of the vocal folds; third, resonation, in which your mouth,nose and throat cavities amplify the sound so you can hear it; and finally there is articulation, in which you modify the sound by movement of the teeth, tongue, and lips into recognizable patterns.
    • There are only forty-four sounds to master, and as young child you started making them by mastering simple sounds which you later articulated into repetitive sound combinations and then words.
    • If you can not physically produce the sound, then you may want to consult with a professional speech therapist to help you with articulation.
    • When we talk about pronunciation, we focus on the word rather than the individual sound, as with articulation.
