THE SEVENTY-THIRD TABLE.

DIVERS Muscles of the Thigh, &c.

A, The Glutaeus Major.

B, The Medius; both being Rais'd and left at their Inser∣tions.

C, The Glutaeus Minor in Situ: It has a Semicircular Broad Beginning from the Dorsum Ossis Ilii, whence its Fleshy Fibres Descend to their partly Fleshy and partly Tendinous Inser∣tion, at the Superior Part of the Root of the Great Trochanter.

This Performs the same Office with the Medius, mention'd in the Description of the preceding Table.

D, F, G, I, The Pyriformis, by some call'd Iliacus Externus, by others Quadrage∣minus Primus: It Arises Round and Fleshy from the Inferior and Internal Part of the Os Sacrum, within the Pelvis of the Abdomen, Descending from thence Oblique∣ly in the Great Sinus of the Os Ilium (Tab. 99. Fig. 2. F) above the Acute Process of the Ischium (Ibid. G,) and joins with the Glutaeus Medius before it's Inserted to the Upper Part of the Root of the Great Trochanter. This moves the Thigh some∣what Upwards and Turns it Outward.

E, The Os Sacrum.

H, That Part of the Marsupialis, call'd the Marsupium.

K, The Tubercle of the Os Ischium.

L, The Back-part of the Os Ilium.

M, The Great Trochanter.

N, The Musculus Quadratus Femoris: It Arises Broad and Fleshy from the Epi∣physis of the Os Ischium, and passes Transversly of an equal Breadth and Thickness to its partly Fleshy and partly Tendinous Implantation, at the Posterior Part of the Os Femoris▪ below the Great Trochanter: This turns the Thigh Outwards.

O, Divers Muscles of the Tibia near their Origin.
