disarticulated
Taken apart anatomically
Disarticulated means separated at the joints or disconnected from a natural arrangement.
In anatomy and archaeology, disarticulated bones are no longer connected as they were in the living body: The skeleton was found disarticulated, scattered across the burial site.
More broadly, anything disarticulated has been taken apart or come undone at its points of connection.
