    INNES. DUMAS. ALBINUS. DOUGLAS. WINSLOW. COWPER. Inserted into the upper part of the patella, from which a thin tendon runs down on the fore part of this bone, to terminate in a thick ftrong ligament, which is fent oil' from the inferior part of the patella, and is Inserted into the tubercle of the tibia. Use. Extends the leg in a powerful manner, by the intervention of the patella, like a pulley. Vastus I * ; Vastus Vastus Vastus Vastus Externus. J J Externus. | Externus. | Externus. Externus. * Inserted, broad, tendinous, and flefliy, into the root of the trochanter major: into the whole length of the Iinea afpera, from the infertion of the glutaeus medius. From this extent the fibres run downwards, and a little obliquely forwards, towards the redtus, and terminate infenfibly in a kind of fliort aponeurofis, which is _ . . Inserted into the neareft edge of the tendon of the redtus; into a large lhare of the upper part of the patella; into the edge of the capfular ligament; and into the lateral parts of the head of the tibia. Use. To extend the leg. 177 Vas lus Interims. Vastus Interims. Vastus Interims. Vastus Internus. Vastus Interims. Inserted, tendinous and flethy, into the fore part of the os femoris, from the roots of the trochanter minor, into the linea afpera, nearly to the internal condyle. The fibres run obliquely forwards and downwards, and are Inserted, tendinous, into the upper and infide of the patella, continuing flefliy, lower than the vaflus exter- nus. It is continued by its aponeurofis to the leg, the which is Inserted into the upper part of the tibia. Use. To extend the leg. Cruralis. Cruralis. Crurceus. Crureus. Crurceus, sell Femoreus. This is a flefhy mafs covering almofl all the forefide of the os femoris, between the two vafii, which covers the edges of this mufcle. On each fide it is Inserted, flefliy, into the forefide of the os femoris, between the two trochanters; is connected to both vafii mufcles, fo as not to feem to form a diflindt mufcle, It is Inserted, tendinous, in the upper part of the patella, behind the redtus,. to which it is connected. Use. Aflifts in the extenfion of the leg. J79- Gracilis. Sous Pubio Crcti Gracilis. Gracilis. Gracilis Interior, sive Gracilis Tibial. Rectus Interior. ~~ Inserted, near the fymphyfis of the os pubis, by a broad fiat tendon on one fide of the infertion of the adductor brevis, and is Inserted, tendinous, into the fore part of the head of the tibia. Use. To bring the leg obliquely inwards. Pectinalis. ] Pubio Femoral. | Pectin crus. | Pectineus. | Pectinceus. | Pectinceus. Inserted by flefliy fibres into the anterior part of the os pubis, above the foramen thyroideum, and is Inserted into the linea afpera, below the trochanter minor, by a flat tendon, between the fuperior infertion of the vaflus internus, and the inferior infertion of the addudtor brevis. Use. To bring the thigh upwards and inwards. L Addufior * Dumas defcribcs this and the two following mufcles as a triceps, and calls it tiifcmoio tili rttulien. Plate VI. Plate VI. Plate VI. Plate VI.
