Most arachnids lack extensor muscles in the distal joints of their appendages.

Its semiovate prosoma (head) is with submarginal compound eyes, and the strongly serrate margins on the distal joints and lobes of the swimming legs.

Biarticular muscles can also transfer mechanical power between distal and proximal joints, though the direction and magnitude of this transfer varies with anatomy, muscle activity level, and joint angles.

An oblique segment is removed from the ulna, after which the distal radial-ulnar joint is freed, making sure structures stay attached to the styloid process.

Degenerative joint disease of the tarsometatarsal or distal intertarsal joint is referred to as bone spavin.

The examination finding of tenderness of the distal radio-ulnar joint suggests an Essex-Lopresti injury in patients who have sustained high energy forearm trauma.

Long delays are primarily due to long reflex pathways, which are common in distal joints and muscles.

Unconsciously, my fingers touched the jagged scar that crossed his middle finger, twisting the distal joints.

In a rotationplasty a distal joint is used to replace a more proximal one, typically a foot and ankle joint is used to replace a knee joint.

Dolichopterus is distinguishable by its nearly smooth outer surface; its subquadrate prosoma (head), and the slightly serrated margins on the distal joints and lobes of the swimming legs.
