The Tarsal Joints.—The bones of the tarsusare connected by dorsal ligaments, which pass fromeach bone to all others contiguous: the plantar,which connect their under surfaces similarly, andthe interosseous, of which there are five, situatedbetween adjoining bones. These articulations admitof a slight degree of motion—-forward,, backward,and laterally; and between the first and second rangeof bones adduction and abduction, with slight flexionand extension take place.
