ough the interior of the neck of the bone; butas these are torn through by the fracture, only those of theuntorn reflected ligament and ligamentum teres remain, andit is principally those of which I have given a view in theplate, No. 13. In the fetal bone, in this plate, the interiorvessels are slightly tinted. Fig. 4. Fsetal thigh-bone. A. Head of the bone B. Trochanter major C. Shaft of the bone D. Ligamentum teres, with its vessels E. Ossific vessels of the head of the bone. Fig. 5.Extremity of the os calcis, cut off* and drawn up by theaction of the gastrocnemius muscle, in the rabbit. A. Os calcis B. Portion of bone detached from it C. Union by ligament. Fig. 6.Longitudinal section of the head of the thigh-bone in adog, in part within and in part external to the ligament. A. Head of the bone B. Portion of the head of the bone broken off longitudinally, and reunited by an ossific process. In this experiment,both the capsular ligament and periosteum affordednourishment to the bone.
