The whole aeries of levera i» bound together by muwdea, tendons, ligamenta, etc., and play over one another at cer- tain points where they are in- vested with cartilage, and kept moist by a Mcretion from the cells covering the syno- vial membranes that form the inner lining of joints. Cartilage, a very low fonn of tissue destitute of blood- vessels, and hence badly re- paired when lost by injury or disease, forms a series of smooth surfaces admirably adapted for joints, and espe- cially fitted to act as a series of elastic buffers, and thus prevent shocks. Bone, though brittle in the dried state, possesses, when alive, a favorable de- groe of elasticity, while sufBoiently rigid. Provision is made by ito vascular periosteum and central marrow (in the case of the long bones), as well as by the blood-supply derived from thi) nutrient artery and its ramifications throughout the osseous.
