The interest of the student of kinesiology is stimulated by con-stantly recurring practical problems of muscular action to which 30 MUSCULAR STRUCTURE AND ACTION he must bring the best evidence secured by all these methods, andtry to verify the commonly accepted solutions by his own observa-tion of the skeletal mechanism and the action of the living student who is hopelessly addicted to the study of books ashis only source of information is sure to fall by the Articular cartilageSynovial membraneCapsular ligament Fig. 0
