Condyloid

Your jaw bone ascends toward the back (almost at a right angle to the horizontal line of the teeth), ending in a rounded protuberance (the condyloid process), which fits into a shallow groove in your temporal bone on the lower part of your skull. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The jaw-bone, in few cases, is completely dislocated, for the zygomatic process formed from the upper jaw-bone (malar?) and the bone behind the ear (temporal?) shuts up the heads of the under jaw, being above the one (condyloid process?), and below the other ❋ Unknown (2007)

Examples of condyloid joints are found at the knuckles and where the wrist bones articulate with the radius and ulna. ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)

* Kinds of Movable Joints. — * The different kinds of movable joints are the ball and socket joint, the hinge joint, the pivot joint, the condyloid joint, and the gliding joint. ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)

-- In common with the perforans, this muscle arises from the inner condyloid ridge of the humerus. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

The _condyloid_ joint is formed by the fitting of the ovoid ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)

—The vertebral vein communicates with the transverse sinus by a vein which passes through the condyloid canal, when that canal exists. ❋ Unknown (1918)

At the base of either condyle the bone is tunnelled by a short canal, the hypoglossal canal (anterior condyloid foramen). ❋ Unknown (1918)

Behind each condyle is the condyloid fossa, perforated on one or both sides by the condyloid canal, for the transmission of a vein from the transverse sinus. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The wrist-joint proper is a true condyloid articulation, and therefore all movements but rotation are permitted. ❋ Unknown (1918)

They receive the blood from the superior petrosal sinuses at the base of the petrous portion of the temporal bone; they communicate with the veins of the pericranium by means of the mastoid and condyloid emissary veins; and they receive some of the inferior cerebral and inferior cerebellar veins, and some veins from the diploë. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Somewhat later, accessory nuclei of cartilage make their appearance, viz., a wedge-shaped nucleus in the condyloid process and extending downward through the ramus; a small strip along the anterior border of the coronoid process; and smaller nuclei in the front part of both alveolar walls and along the front of the lower border of the bone. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The Meningeal Branch (ramus meningeus; dural branch) ascends with the internal jugular vein, and enters the skull through the jugular foramen and condyloid canal, to supply the dura mater in the posterior fossa. ❋ Unknown (1918)

This groove lodges the terminal part of the transverse sinus, and opening into it, close to its medial margin, is the orifice of the condyloid canal. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The metatarsophalangeal articulations are of the condyloid kind, formed by the reception of the rounded heads of the metatarsal bones in shallow cavities on the ends of the first phalanges. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The angle is obtuse (175°), and the condyloid portion is nearly in line with the body. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The upper border is thin, and is surmounted by two processes, the coronoid in front and the condyloid behind, separated by a deep concavity, the mandibular notch. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Extension can be carried farther than flexion; at the upper end of the region it is checked by the locking of the posterior edges of the superior atlantal facets in the condyloid fossæ of the occipital bone; at the lower end it is limited by a mechanism whereby the inferior articular processes of the seventh cervical vertebra slip into grooves behind and below the superior articular processes of the first thoracic. ❋ Unknown (1918)

Behind either condyle is a depression, the condyloid fossa, which receives the posterior margin of the superior facet of the atlas when the head is bent backward; the floor of this fossa is sometimes perforated by the condyloid canal, through which an emissary vein passes from the transverse sinus. ❋ Unknown (1918)

—The articulation between the atlas and the occipital bone consists of a pair of condyloid joints. ❋ Unknown (1918)
