The funicular part is clearly divided into two lateral halves, which are round at their occipital attachment, but from the axis backward become rapidly wider and flat. This wide portion is almost sagittal, lies on either side of the vertebral spines, and is covered by the trapezius and rhomboideus muscles. From the highest part of the â ndthers (third thoracic spine) it gradually diminishes in size and fades out in the lumbar region. The lamellar part is thick, and consists of anterior and pos- terior parts. T'he anterior part is double; its fibers proceed from the funicular part to the second, third, and fourth cervical spines. The posterior part is single; its fibers extend from the first thoracic spine to the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical spines. The ventral longitudinal ligament is very strong in the lumbar Fig. 2.'ifi.âLtoamentum of Ox. a, Funicular part; 6, its wide portion; r, rf, lamellar part; e, interspinous ligament; ^, spinous process of first thoracic vertebra; 2, axis (EUenberger-Baum, Anat. d. Haustiere.) The intervertebral fibro-cartilages are thicker than in the horse. The interspinous ligaments of the back and loins consist largely of elastic tissue. There are no intertransverse joints in the Imnbar region. Pig.âThe ligamentum nuchge is represented by a fibrous raphe and thin layers of elastic tissue which extend between the cervical spines. The atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints resemble those of the dog. The interspinous ligamejits of the neck are elastic. Dog.âThe ligamentum nuchae consists of a small fibrous band which extends from the spine of the axis to the anterior thoracic spines; it may be regarded as a mere fibrous raphe between the right and left muscles. There are interspinous muscles inste
