joint, making it a shut sac, thus performing the double office 

 of keeping the two ends in contact, and of holding the lubri- 

 cating fluid in the joint. In addition to these, there is in 

 the ball and socket joint another kind of ligamentous attach- 

 ment between the two bones, called the round ligament, or 

 Ligamentum Teres. This is a bundle of ligamentous fibres 

 in the form of a cord, which is inserted into the summit of 

 the rounded head of the bone, and also in the bottom of the 

 cup-shaped cavity that receives the head. This is somewhat 

 lax ordinarily, but not so much so but that it keeps the head 

 from slipping out of its socket, and at the same time allows 

 the most perfect freedom of motion. 



159. What are the Ligaments ? To what part of the bones are they generally at- 

 tached? How are they arranged in Ginglymus joints ? Why are they sometimes found 

 in the form of a shut sac? Describe the round ligament.
