Inflections: Plural ossa centralia.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin os centrale.

Etymology: < scientific Latin os centrale ( C. Gegenbaur Untersuchungen zur vergleichenden Anatomie der Wirbelthiere (1864) 6) < classical Latin os bone (see os n.¹) + centrāle , neuter of centrālis central adj. Compare centrale n.In plural form ossa centralia after the Latin plural form.

Chiefly Zoology.

A bone, or any of an intermediate row or group of bones, present in the carpus or tarsus of most vertebrates. Cf. centrale n.In humans and certain other primates, the single os centrale in the carpus becomes fused with the scaphoid, while that in the tarsus becomes the navicular bone. In less than 2% of humans, the os centrale in the carpus does not fuse with the scaphoid and remains a separate carpal bone.
