motion; which is a proper time to have their fluid prelTed out. 
moft confidcrable parcel of thefe glands with their fat, are fee “ 
ioint of the knee, and the largeft gland of this fort is found in the linus 
at the bottom of the acetabulum of the os innominatum, and is com- 
preffed by the ligamentum teres. 
This work being principally defigned for the defcnptxon of the bones, 
and the parts treated of in this chapter being only confidercd as they relate 
to their connexions and motions, the cartilages are therefore only de- 
feribed in a general manner. Of the ligaments, the moft confiderablc 
only are mentioned, fo as to {hew their general mechanifms and ules, 
and the glands are treated of more fparingly than either, there being in 
them yet lefs variety of forms and ules.
