The hydropathic encyclopedia: a system of hydropathy and hygiene .. . ead of the tibia, and of the inner surface of the «tween it and the ligamentum patera is a rrass of fatty substance »u ANATOMY Fig. 3d which prosses the membrane toward the interior of the joint, and occu-pies the fossae between the condyles. A slender, conical process of synovial membrano,called iigamentum mucosum, proceeds from thetransverse ligament. Its apex is connected withthe anterior part of the condyloid notch, and itsbase is lost in the mass of fat which projects intothe joint beneath the patella. The alar ligamentsare two fringed folds of synovial membrane, ex-tending from the Iigamentum mucosum along theedges of the mass of fat to the sides of thepatella.
