D and D' show the fore and hind limbs, to illustrate their homology.
D is in the embryonic position. The radius and tibia are, at an early
stage in development, on the anterior edge of their respective limbs;
the ulna and fibula, posterior; the former are spoken of as preaxial in
position, the latter as postaxial. But in the adult the humerus is
twisted so that the proximal end of the radius lies at the outer side of
the elbow, whence it crosses the ulna, so that its distal end is
inside, while the femur is also twisted round, so that the entire tibia
is internal.
