cuneiform; and behind this (occasionally) a smaller facet, for articulation with the navicular; it is rough in the rest of its extent, for the attachment of strong interosseous ligaments.
It is situated between the other two cuneiforms, and articulates with the navicular behind, and the second metatarsal in front.
It occupies the center of the front row of the tarsal bones, between the second cuneiform medially, the cuboid laterally, the navicular behind, and the third metatarsal in front.

 Cuneiform (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are three cuneiform bones in the human foot: the medial cuneiform, the intermediate cuneiform and the lateral cuneiform.
It is situated between the other two cuneiforms, and articulates with the navicular posteriorly, the second metatarsal anteriorly and with the other cuneiforms on either side.
It occupies the center of the front row of the tarsal bones, between the second cuneiform medially, the cuboid laterally, the navicular posteriorly and the third metatarsal in front.

 ANATOMY
The midfoot is composed of five of the seven tarsal bones, the navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiform bones.
The boundary between the midfoot and forefoot consists of five tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints, the joints between the distal row of the midfoot and the bases of the metatarsals.
The talus occupies the highest point of the arch; with its head wedged between the calcaneus and navicular, it is the "keystone" that holds the arch together.

 Introductory Anatomy
Anatomy is an unusual subject because the material we use is human.
Now bodies had to come from somewhere, but the conjoining of anatomy and hanging offences was very bad news, and the basis of an association which lasted until the first Anatomy act in 1832.
After the act the number of available bodies increased, and the act itself was pro anatomy in that the execution had to follow smartly upon conviction, and the body conveyed immediately to the surgeons.

Cuneiform tablets could be fired in kilns to provide a permanent record, or they could be recycled if permanence was not needed.
When the cuneiform script was adapted to writing the Hittite language, a layer of Akkadian logographic spellings was added to the script, with the result that we no longer know the pronunciations of many Hittite words conventionally written by logograms.
Knowledge of cuneiform was lost until 1835 when Henry Rawlinson, a British army officer, found some of the Behistun inscriptions on a cliff at Behistun in Persia.

 LISFRANC (Tarsal-Metatarsal) FRACTURE DISLOCATION
The bones consist of the 3 cuneiform bones and the cuboid bone.
The Lisfranc joint actually refers to a number of joints which are formed by the junction of the metatarsals and the cuneiforms, and by the junction of the metatarsals and the cuboid bone.
If the ligaments between the medial and mid cuneiforms are disrupted, or between the 1st, 2nd mt and the medial cuneiform, then the bones separate and the normal alignment of the joints is lost.

 Anatomy & Physiology of the Larynx
The attachment of the epiglottis allows it to invert, an action which helps to direct food and liquid into the esophagus and to protect the vocal cords and airway during swallowing.
The arytenoids are shaped like pyramids, and because they are a point of attachment for the vocal cords, allow the opening and closing movement of the vocal cords necessary for respiration and voice.
The cuneiform and corniculate cartilages are very small, and have no clear-cut function.

The patient's X-rays reveal a fracture of the second cuneiform with displacement of a fragment superiorly and disruption of the Lisfranc joint.
The Lisfranc ligament is a large band of plantar collagenous tissue that spans the articulation of the medial cuneiform and the second metatarsal base.
The medial shaft of the second metatarsal should be aligned with the medial aspect of the middle cuneiform on the anteroposterior view.

Relevant Anatomy: The Lisfranc joint actually is composed of the 5 TMT joints and, as mentioned, serves as the dividing line between the rigid midfoot and the more flexible weightbearing forefoot.
The Lisfranc ligament originates from the plantar lateral aspect of the medial cuneiform and attaches to the plantar medial aspect of the second MT base.

This is known as the "head of the talus." The remaining tarsal bones are bound firmly together, forming a mass on which the talus rests.
The other bones which compose the tarsus are the "calcaneus," the largest of the ankle bones; the "talus;" the "navicular," the "cuboid," the "lateral cuneiform," the "intermediate cuneiform," and the "medial cuneiform." The "calcaneus," or heel bone, is located below the talus where it projects backward to form the base of the heel.
