. A compend of equine anatomy and physiology. Horses. VISCERAL ANATOMY. 169 anterior lateral ligament, behind to the basilar and retrossal processes and plantar cushion; they are thin above, with a notch behind for vessels, thick below, concave internally, with vascular foramina, and convex externally, also with foramina for vessels. They are composed of fibrous and cartilaginous tissue. Fig. LONGITUDINAL MEDIAN SECTION OF THE FOOT. i, Anterior extensor of the phalanges, or extensor pedis; 2, Lateral extensor, or extensor suffraginis; 3, Capsule of metacarpo-phalangeal articulation; 4, Large metacarpal bone ; 5, Superficial flexor of the phalanges, or perforatus ; 6, Deep flexor, or perforans ; 7, Sheath; 8, Bursa; 9, Sesamoid bone; 10, Ergot and fatty cushion of fetlock ; 11, Crucial ligament; 12, Short sesamoid ligament; 13, First phalanx; 14, Bursa; 15, Second phalanx; 16, Navicular bone; 17, Plantar cushion; 18, Third phalanx; 19, Plantar surface of hoof; 20, Sensitive or keratogenous membrane of third phalanx. The Plantar Cushion is wedge-shaped, lying between the carti- lages and below the insertion of the perforans. The superior surface lies on the expansion of the perforans, and is attached by bands to the ergot, metacarpus and os pedis. The infe- rior surface is covered by the keratogenous membrane, and shows 12.
