Aid of Atmospheric Pressure.—Atmospheric pres- sure also helps to keep the bones together. For since the projection of one member so accurately fits the depression in the other, and as the lubricating fluid makes the coupling most perfect, the pressure of the atmosphere assists not a little to keep the parts together. 161. Inter-articular Cartilage.—Another arrangement in the joints is not a little singular, and well adapted to its pur- pose. This is an interarticular cartilage in the knee called semilunar, or a small disc of cartilage which lies loosely be- 160. What besides the ligaments helps to keep the bones together ? 161, Describe the interarticular cartilage and its use.
