The latter receives the tendon of the tibialis posterior, descends in the tarsal groove, bound down by the strong plantar annular ligament (Ligamentum lacini- atum) and enveloped in a synovial sheath, receives the tendon of the metlial head below the hock, and, a little further down, the so-called check ligament (Caput tendinemu). The tendon is partly cartilaginous where it plays over the fibular.
