Text Appearing Before Image: 70 THE SKELETON OF THE CAT. ScapJioliinar Bone. Os scapJiobinaris (Fig. 51, a).—The scapholunar is a quadrangular bone with the ventroradial angle produced into a blunt process. Its proximal surface is smooth and articulates with the distal end of the radius. The distal end is marked by oblique ridges and articulates with the unci- form, OS magnum, trapezoid, and trapezium. The ulnar surface articulates with the cuneiform, and the dorsal surface of the ventroradial process with the radial sesamoid. Ciineiform Bone. (Os triqnetriim BNA) (Fig. 51, b).— The cuneiform bone has the form of a flattened pyramid. Its base articulates with the unciform, its proximoulnar surface with the pisiform except at its dorsal margin, where it articulates with the styloid process of the ulna. On its proximoradial sur- face is a smooth facet for articulation with the scapholunar. Pisiform Bone. Os pisiforme (Fig. 51, c).—The pisiform bone is about twice as long as broad, with enlarged ends. Its dorsal end articu- lates with the cuneiform, and on its proximal surface, separated from the above by a smooth ridge, is a smooth facet for articulation with the styloid process of the ulna. Unciform Bone.
