The internal condyle presentf?, posteriorly and inwardly, near the posterior extremity of the intercondyloid notch, a roughened depression for the insertion of the fibro-cartilaginous meniscus interposed between the external condyle and the corresponding articular plane of the tibia. It is surmounted outwardly, , on the side opposite to the intercondyloid notch, by a large tubercle of insertion. The trochlea, a wide pulley on which the patella glides, is situated in front of the condyles.
. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Veterinary anatomy. 100 TBE S0NE8. attachment. The internal condyle presentf?, posteriorly and inwardly, near the posterior extremity of the intercondyloid notch, a roughened depression for the insertion of the fibro-cartilaginous meniscus interposed between the external condyle and the corresponding articular plane of the tibia. It is surmounted outwardly, , on the side opposite to the intercondyloid notch, by a large tubercle of insertion. The trochlea, a wide pulley on which the patella glides, is situated in front of the condyles. It is slightly oblique downwards and inwards, and appears to continue in front the inter- condyloid notch. Of the two lips which border its cavity laterally, the internal is the thickest and the most prominent. ^'S- 63- Between the external and the corresponding con- dyle is seen a digital fossa for muscular insertion. Structure and development,—The femur, very ' spongy at its extremities, is developed, from four principal centres of ossification: one for the body, another for the articular head, the third for the trochanter, and the last for the inferior extremity alone. SECTION OF LEFT FEMUR, SHOWING ITS STR0OTUEE. This has for its base three bones: the peroneus (oi fibula), and the rotula (or patella), 1. The tibia is a long, prismatic bone, thicker at the superior than the opposite extremity, and situated between the femur and the astragalus, in an oblique direction downwards and backwards, constituting the principal portion of the leg. Body.—This offers for study three faces and three borders. The faces are wider above than below. The external is almost smooth, and is concave in its superior part and convex below, where it deviates to become the anterior. The internal, slightly convex on both sides, presents, superiorly, deep imprints tor the attachment of the adductor muscles of the thigh andi the semi- tendinosus. The posterior, nearly plane, is divided
