Anatomy Course A branch of the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery. It branches from the anterior trunk before the anterior trunk passes between the rami anterior rami of two of the sacral nerves. It courses medially along the posterior pelvic wall towards the rectum, where it joins with the superior and inferior rectal

Motion These are the joints lying between the distal heads of the metacarpals and the proximal phalanges of the digits. They are synovial condylar joints. They have a wide range of motion, including: flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. The flexion component of these is the most extensive, commonly terminated by a grasped object.
