LATERAL MUSCLES OF THE lilP AND THIGH (Figs. 303, 309) The tensor fascise latae is large, and the fleshy jiart extends further dowTi than in tile horse. The gluteus superficialis is not present as such; apparently its anterior part has fused with the tensor fascite lata and its posterior part with the biceps femoris. The gluteus medius is small, the lumliar part being insignificant and extend- ing forward only to the fourth lumlnir vertebra. Its tleej:) p{jrti<Mi (glutens ac- cessorius) is easily separable, and its strong tendon is inserted into the femur below the trochanter major, under cover of the upper part of the vastus lateralis. The gluteus profundus is thin, but exten- sive, arising as far forward as the tuber coxae, and from the lower part of the sacro-sciatic liga- ment. The fibers converge on a broad, strong tendon which passes untler the upjier part of the vastus lateralis, and is inserted into a tu- bercle a short distance below the great tro- chanter. The biceps femoris is very wide at its upper part, having apparently absorbed the posterior part of the superficial gluteus. It arises from the sacral spines, sacro-sciatic liga- ment, and tuber ischii. It is divided by a fibro-elastic septum in the thigh into two por- tions, which end in front and below on a wide aponeurosis; the latter is attached to the patella and its lateral ligament and blends with the fas- cia cruris and fascia lata. There is no femoral attachment. A large bursa occurs between the muscle and the great trochanter in the adult. The part of the tendon which fuses with the lateral patellar ligament presents a fibro-cartil- aginous thickening, and an extensive bursa is interposed between it and the lateral condyle of the A layer derived from the fascia lata is intimately adherent to the deep face of the muscle, and cases occur in which this fascials ruptured by tlie troclia
