In the ankle joint the astragalus either does not, or does only to a comparatively slight extent, articulate with the cuboid as well as with the navicular bone.
The navicular, cuboidand ectocuneiform are often united.
The tympanic bulla is hollow instead of being filled with cancellated bone; the cuneiform is not fused with the cuboid and navicular, though the latter are with each other; the lateral digits of the hind-feet are rudimentary.
Cervidae, the navicular and cuboid become fused into one bone; and there are even further fusions which will be referred to later as characteristic features of different groups.
Lower articular surface of the astragalus divided into two nearly equal facets, one for the navicular and a second for the cuboid bone.
A), and never fuse into a complete cannon-bone; and the navicular and cuboid bones of the tarsus are separate.
The navicular and cuboid are rotated medially around the anterior ends of the talus and calcaneus respectively, and the tubercle of the navicular comes to lie close to the medial malleolus.
The talo-navicular joint lies immediately behind the tuberosity of the navicular, and a line drawn straight across the foot at this level passes over the calcaneo-cuboid joint.
The talus comes to rest on the third cuneiform andcuboid bones, the foot being abducted, inverted, and displaced medially.
The bone being now denuded by throwing back the flaps, the first point is to find and lay open the calcaneo-cuboid joint, and then the joints with the astragalus.
Achillis, and drawn horizontally forwards along the outer side of the foot, somewhat in front of the calcaneo-cuboid joint, which lies midway between the outer malleolus and the end of the fifth metatarsal bone.
In the tarsus the cuboid articulates with the astragalus as well as with the calcaneum, and the proximal surface of the astragalus is marked by a pulley-like groove.
The cuboid always articulates with the astragalus, and the tarsal bones strongly interlock.
Just as in the manus, the third and fourth digits are well and subequally developed; their ungual phalanges have the contiguous sides flat, and the axis of the limb passes between them, and between the cuboid and navicular.
The astragalus is very flat, and the tarsals interlock to a slight extent, the cuboid articulating with both calcaneum and astragalus.
The tarsal bones have the regular Subungulate arrangement, the cuboid not articulating with the astragalus.
The astragalus has its distal portion abruptly truncated, and the facet by which it articulates with the cuboid is much smaller than that by which it articulates with the navicular.
In the tarsus the cuboid articulates with both the calcaneum and the astragalus, which is remarkably flat.
The astragalus has pulley-like surfaces both proximally and distally, and articulates with the navicular and cuboid by two nearly equal facets.
The astragalus has both the proximal and distal surfaces pulley-like, and articulates with the navicular and cuboid by two facets of nearly equal size.
In the Ruminantia the cuboid and navicular are always united and so are the second and third cuneiforms, while in Cervulus all four bones are united together.
The molars have cuboid crowns; the surface of friction is almost square in the case of the upper molars, and is inclined so as to look inwards; in the case of the inferior ones, it is a little narrowed, and is inclined so as to look outwards.
The cuboid is small; the scaphoid is large, and flattened from above downwards.
We have already mentioned that the scaphoid and the cuboid are ankylosed; they form by their union an irregular bone, on which the astragalus and calcaneum are supported.
The cuboid is displaced obliquely downward and forward, so that the upper part of the posterior articular surface is not in contact with the calcis.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cuboid" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
