It transmits the weight of the hinder part of the body from the thigh to the foot. Its upper end is very wide, and presents two articular surfaces (co)i(h/Ics)—which are each convex from before backwards, and slightly concave from side to side {re and ic), and which receive the two condyles of tlic femur. IJetween these articular surfaces there is a depression, or pit, giving insertion to one end of one of the crucial liyamciii'^ which connect the femur mth the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mivart, St. George Jackson, 1827-1900.
