The eponym of Lisfranc joint is 18th–19th-century surgeon and gynecologist Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermetatarsal%20joints | The intermetatarsal joints are the articulations between the base of metatarsal bones.
The base of the first metatarsal is not connected with that of the second by any ligaments; in this respect the great toe resembles the thumb.
The bases of the other four metatarsals are connected by the dorsal, plantar, and intero... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartz%E2%80%93Bruhat%20function | In mathematics, a Schwartz–Bruhat function, named after Laurent Schwartz and François Bruhat, is a complex valued function on a locally compact abelian group, such as the adeles, that generalizes a Schwartz function on a real vector space. A tempered distribution is defined as a continuous linear functional on the spac... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal%20joints%20of%20the%20foot | The interphalangeal joints of the foot are between the phalanx bones of the toes in the feet.
Since the great toe only has two phalanx bones (proximal and distal phalanges), it only has one interphalangeal joint, which is often abbreviated as the "IP joint". The rest of the toes each have three phalanx bones (proximal... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercuneiform%20joints | The intercuneiform joints are the joints (articulations among) the cuneiform bones.
The term "cuneocuboid joint" is sometimes used to describe the joint between the cuboid and lateral cuneiform, but this term is not recognized by Terminologia Anatomica.
Ligaments
The three cuneiform bones and the cuboid bone are con... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial%20animal | Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, chickens, ants, spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and amphibians, which rely on aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. frogs and newts). S... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSID | Life Science Identifiers are a way to name and locate pieces of information on the web. Essentially, an LSID is a unique identifier for some data, and the LSID protocol specifies a standard way to locate the data (as well as a standard way of describing that data). They are a little like DOIs used by many publishers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal%20joints | The intercarpal joints (joints of the carpal bones of the wrist) can be subdivided into three sets of joints (also called articulations): Those of the proximal row of carpal bones, those of the distal row of carpal bones, and those of the two rows with each other.
Articulations
The bones in each carpal row interlock... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar%20tendon | The patellar tendon is the distal portion of the common tendon of the quadriceps femoris, which is continued from the patella to the tibial tuberosity. It is also sometimes called the patellar ligament as it forms a bone to bone connection when the patella is fully ossified.
Structure
The patellar tendon is a strong,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique%20popliteal%20ligament | The oblique popliteal ligament (posterior ligament) is a broad, flat, fibrous ligament on the posterior knee. It is an extension of the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle. It attaches onto the intercondylar fossa and lateral condyle of the femur. It reinforces the posterior central portion of the knee joint capsule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial%20plant | A terrestrial plant is a plant that grows on, in, or from land. Other types of plants are aquatic (living in water), epiphytic (living on trees) and lithophytic (living in or on rocks).
The distinction between aquatic and terrestrial plants is often blurred because many terrestrial plants are able to tolerate periodic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interclavicular%20ligament | The interclavicular ligament is a flattened band, which varies considerably in form and size in different individuals, it passes in a curved direction from the upper part of the sternal end of one clavicle to that of the other, and is also attached to the upper margin of the sternum.
It is in relation, in front, with ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytomics | Cytomics is the study of cell biology (cytology) and biochemistry in cellular systems at the single cell level. It combines all the bioinformatic knowledge to attempt to understand the molecular architecture and functionality of the cell system (Cytome). Much of this is achieved by using molecular and microscopic tech... |
