The yelloiv ligaments are all pei'ipheral, funicular, or membranous, and enjoy a marked degree of elasticity, which permits them mechanically to bring back to their usual position the bony levers that have been momentarily displaced. These ligaments, which are powerful auxiliaries to the muscular forces, give permanent equilibrium to the weight in certain parts of the body, which incessantly tend to fall to the ground ; for instance, the cervical ligament of Solipeds and large Ruminants. The ligaments are always assisted in their action by atmospheric pressure, which is exerted over all the surface of the body ; and also frequently by the tendons and aponeurosis of muscles, and even by the muscles themselves, when they pass over an articulation or are inserted in its vicinity. In several regions the ligaments are more or less confounded with tendons or aponeuroses— as in the anterior extensor tendon of the phalanges and superior sesamoid liga- ment, the ligaments of the femoro-tibial articulation, and the aponeuroses of the posterior portion of the superficial gluteal muscle. Synovial Capsules.—These are very thin membranes of a serous character, intended to secrete the sj/novia. They are composed of two layers : a deep, formed by fasciculi of connective tissue ; the other, superficial, formed by an. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page image
