• Acromioclavicular — Pertaining to or relating simultaneously to the acromion and the clavicle; describing the articular, ligamentous, or capsular elements uniting the bony process of the scapula with the external extremity of the clavicle at the superolateral aspect of the shoulder.
• Alar — Pertaining to a wing, relating to a wing, or having the shape of a wing; aliform. In human and comparative anatomy, the term describes structural elements such as ligaments, bony processes (such as the alar processes of the ethmoid bone), blood vessels, or muscles correlated with laterally extended structures. In botany, it applies to cells located at the basal angles of leaves in mosses (bryophytes) or to the membranous extensions of certain seeds or fruits.
• Ankylotomy — A historical surgical intervention or reconstructive technique consisting of the sectioning of fibrous bridges, retracted ligaments, calcified joint capsules, or rigid tendons, performed to release a pathologically locked joint and partially or fully restore its functional mobility.
• Arthrology — A branch of anatomy and medicine dealing with the study of the structure, functions, development, and pathology of joints in human and animal bodies. This discipline analyzes all connecting elements between skeletal segments, including cartilage, synovial capsules, ligaments, and lubricating fluids, providing the theoretical foundation for orthopedics, rheumatology, and physical therapy.
