multangular , also: multiangular

The third metacarpal receives two, one each from the lesser multangular and capitate.

The Multangular Tower and the other seven similar towers were, however, a late addition to the walls.

The tower has 10 sides, from which it derives its modern name "multangular", and is 19 feet (5.8 m) high.

The fourth extends from the margin of the greater multangular to the metacarpal bone of the thumb.

They are small and bird-light, but each is freighted with a heavy name, such as "navicular bone" or "greater multangular."

"Never" stood for the navicular bone, "Grand-Mother" for greater multangular and so forth.

The Trapezium (greater multangular)

A 76 foot (23 m) section of 4th-century wall connects the Multangular Tower to a small interval tower.

The trapezium bone (greater multangular bone) is a carpal bone in the wrist.

The Trapezoid (lesser multangular)

Five Roman stone coffins are in the Multangular Tower, which were brought from graveyards in other areas of York.

The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans.

S Map The Multangular Tower was the western tower of the Roman garrison's defensive wall.

The Multangular Tower in the Museum Gardens is the most noticeable and intact structure remaining from the Roman walls.

A small stretch of wall then leads to the entrance to Museum Gardens, the Multangular Tower and the original line of the Roman walls.

By this time the Roman defences were in poor repair, and the Danes demolished all the towers save the Multangular Tower and restored the walls.

The Multangular Tower is the western corner tower of the Roman fortress, and consists of both Roman and medieval architecture.

This movement is effected through the medium of a small sloping facet on the anterior lip of the saddle-shaped articular surface of the greater multangular (trapezium).

They contain the remains of the west corner of the Roman fort of Eboracum, including the Multangular Tower and parts of the Roman walls.

The lateral surface articulates with the lesser multangular by a small facet at its anterior inferior angle, behind which is a rough depression for the attachment of an interosseous ligament.

The walls are almost certainly the creation of Septimius Severus, however the Multangular Tower is probably a later addition of Constantine the Great around AD 310-20.

At its lateral end is the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis, which lies in the groove on the greater multangular between the attachments of the ligament to the bone.

To the north of the Multangular Tower there is a stretch of the medieval city wall with the remains of the original Roman wall running parallel to it on the city side.

The later medieval additions can be identified by the use of much larger blocks of limestone that cut through the red tiles in places and by the cross shaped arrow slits on the Multangular Tower.

Male medical students once identified the eight wrist bones (navicular, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, multangular greater, multangular lesser, capitate, hamate) by snickering: "Never lower Tillie's pants.
