It arises by two heads and hasthree tendons of insertion. The fibres comprising the longhead, and those of the short head which arise from the lineaaspera, make up a muscle, the tendon of which is inserted intothe head of the fibula. The remaining fibres of the short headare inserted into the capsule behind the tendon of the popli-teus, and into the tibia anteriorly, blending with the capsularligament, more or less, by the way. 392 E.
