them as possible. Hence, as above stated, the muscle that 

 moves them is situated in the fore-arm, and the tendon is 

 made as slender as possible. But here another arrangement 

 claims our attention. A set of four tendons from a common 

 muscle is attached to the base of the second phalanx of each 

 finger, and a second set to the third row of phalanges. The 

 question then arises, how can these two tendons pass upon 



245. Describe the arrangement of the tendons of the fingers.
