In their action the toes are either bent or extended. 261. Annular Ligaments. —An interesting contrivance for preserving the slenderness of the hand and foot is found in the Annular Ligaments. These are large bundles of ligamentous tissue which pass around the wrist and ankle, very much resembling a brace- let. (Figs. 148, and 149, p. 133.) They are very firm and stout, and their design is to keep in place the tendons which move the extremities. When, for example, we move the toes upwards, the muscles which effect this motion with their tendons would extend in a straight line from the upper part of the tibia to the last phalanx, thus making the leg and foot very cumbersome and unwieldy organs, and poorly adapted to their present A View of the Muscles on the Sole of the Foot immediately under the Plantar Fas- cia. 1, Os Calcis. 2, Section of the Fascia Plantaris. 3, Abductor Pollicis. 4, Ab- ductor Minimi Digiti. 5, Flexor Brevis Digitorum. 6, Tendon of the Flexor Longus Pollicis. 7, 7, Lumbricales. 261.
