 muscle in front of the scapulo-humeral articulation. 



6. The precrural glands lie at the anterior border 

 of the tensor fascia lata muscle; distinctly visible in cattle.

 are especially well developed in the cow and are situated behind 

 and above the udder. 



10. The mesenteric, lumbar and sacral glands 

 of the horse and cow can be examined per rectum. In the former
