. Common diseases of farm animals. Veterinary medicine. 132 NON-SPECIFIC OR GENERAL DISEASES times the ligament is placed between the bony surfaces, but usually it is attached to the margins of the articular surfaces that it unites. The immovahle class possesses fibrous-like liga- ments that are placed between the margins of the flat bones that form the articulation. The mixed articulations are united by a fibro-cartilaginous pad that is firmly attached to the articular faces of the bones, and by peripheral ligaments that may be flat or formed by scattered fibres. All movaljle articu- lations are formed by bony surfaces encrusted with a thin cartilaginous layer that makes them perfectly smooth, ligaments and complimentary cartilages. Sometimes the bony surfaces do not fit each other, and we find between them fihro-cartilages that com- plete the articulation by adapting the articular sur- faces to each other. Round or flat ligaments may extend from one articular surface to the other, and attached to the margins of the articulation are membranous, flat or round ligaments. Muscles and tendons that cross the articulations should be included among the structures binding them together. Movable joints possess a synovial membrane. This mem- brane lines the structures that enclose the articulation and secretes a fluid, the synovia, that lubricates the surfaces. The muscles are the contractile organs that move the body. The movement of the different parts of the body is rendered.
