ANATOMY OF THE DOMESTIC FOWL 



From this head there passes inward, a strong ligament to a point 

 between the femur and fibula (Fig. 25, No. D, 4). 



The ligamentum inter o-later ale genu extends from the outer 

 surface of the internal condyle of the tibia, or condylus internus 



tibiae. It gives off a thin ligamentous slip which enters the joint 

 and is attached to the inner half -moon shaped pad of fibrous 

 cartilage, or meniscus, which it draws backward by the flexion of 

 the knee (Fig. 16, No. B, 2).
