  Articulation \Ar*tic`u*la"tion\, n. [Cf. F. articulation, fr. L.
     articulatio.]
     1. (Anat.) A joint or juncture between bones in the skeleton.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Articulations may be immovable, when the bones are
           directly united (synarthrosis), or slightly movable,
           when they are united intervening substance
           (amphiarthrosis), or they may be more or less freely
           movable, when the articular surfaces are covered with
           synovial membranes, as in complete joints
           (diarthrosis). The last (diarthrosis) includes hinge
           joints, admitting motion in one plane only (ginglymus),
           ball and socket joints (enarthrosis), pivot and
           rotation joints, etc.
           [1913 Webster]

            [1913 Webster]
  
     3. The act of putting together with a joint or joints; any
        meeting of parts in a joint.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     4. The state of being jointed; connection of parts. [R.]
