![9* ter*&] lateral ligament and flexor tendons to the lower part of the patella. a) Branches to the back part of the joint; b) Superficial branches communicating about the patella with the tibialis Otitic* : c) Branches communicating with the art. sup. and inf. ext. at the ligamentum patella;; d) Deep-seated branch, entering the cavity of the joint. Observation. The vascular net-work which covers the knee, is formed by all the artieulares, by the re- currens tibialis, the cWcumjUxa externa, the ramus anastomoticus magnus, and some branches ot the per* forantes. VI) Muscular arteries, which are numerous, and very variable: the following may be re- marked : l) Two or three branches, which are often wanting, to the flexor muscles. They sometimes supply the place of the perforantes fern, super/, by reflected branches. 2; Two branches, which pursue a parallel course between the heads of the gastrocnemeus, to supply the inner side of that muscle. One of those descends along the tendo Achillis, as far as the os calcis. 3) Two branches to the soleus, which are sometimes want- ing : 4) Branches to the plantaris longus, the periosteum, and nerves. I. Tibialis antic a, is rather smaller than the tibialis postica. It is sent off from the front of the artery, at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, immediately passes through thd interosseous ligament, and appears on the](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21068689_0104.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
