No. 2. they will not be detailed here; but some remarks will be made with regard to the displacement the fibro-cartilages undergo when the articulation is in motion. During flexion and extension, these bodies, fixed on the tibial facets, which they transform into glenoid cavities, move with them on the condyles of the femur, from before to behind, or behind to before, according to the movement executed. But at the same time they also glide in an inverse direction
. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Veterinary anatomy. ABTICULATI0N8 OF THE POSTERIOR LIMBS. 167 No. 1. Fig. 92. No. 2. they will not be detailed here; but some remarks will be made with regard to the displacement the fibro-cartilages undergo when the articulation is in motion. During flexion and extension, these bodies, fixed on the tibial facets, which they transform into glenoid cavities, move with them on the condyles of the femur, from before to behind, or behind to before, according to the movement executed. But at the same time they also glide in an inverse direction, and to a very appreciable degree, on the superior extremity of the tibia. There- fore, during flexion, they pass from behind forward on this extremity, and are drawn backwards during exten- sion. In rotation, which may take place from within to without, or from with- out to within, the movement is pro- duced not only by the pivoting of the condyles in their glenoid cavities, but also by a sensible displacement of the meniscii on the tibial surfaces. In the Dog and Cat, the meniscii are joined together near their anterior insertion hy a transverse fibrous band. There is only one patellar ligament, and the posterior liga- ment shows in its thickness two small sesa- moid bones against which the condyles -of the femur play inwardly, and which give attachment, outwardly, to the originating br^'Tjhes of the external gastrocnemius mus- cle. • There is no femoro-patelJar capsule, and only one synovial membrane for the whole articulation. In the Fig and Sheep, there is also only one ligament and one synovial 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 Chauveau, Auguste, 1827-1917; Arloing, Saturnin, 1846-1911; Fleming, George, 1833-1901. tr.
