The _ligamentum ulnare metacarpi internum_ is spread out between the
processus styloideus of the ulna and the tuberositas muscularis on the
upper side of the middle finger base at a point where the second and the
third metacarpi separate.
The _ligamentum ulnare metacarpi externum_ extends from the tubercle of
the distal extremity of the ulna, on the dorsal side, to the tubercle on
the base of the metacarpus.
_Ligamentum radiale metacarpi_ extends from the head of the inner digit
to a point near the tuberculum muscularis of the radius.
The _ligamentum transversum ossis carpi radialis et metacarpi_ is
located between the inferior tuberculum ossis carpi radialis and the
first metacarpal bone.
There is another ligament between the tuberculum superiorus carpi
radialis and the first metacarpal bone.
The _ligamentum ossis carpi radialis internum et metacarpi_ extends from
the inner surface of the carpus radialis to the tuberositas muscularis
of the radius.
The _ligamentum ossis carpi ulnaris externum et metacarpi_ extends from
the ulnar carpal bone to the tuberculum of the metacarpal bone.
The _ligamentum ossis carpi ulnaris internum et metacarpi_ extends from
the processus uncinatus of the ulnar carpal bone to the tuberositas
muscularis of the metacarpal bone.
=Ligaments of the Finger.=—The _ligamentum pollicare_ connects the thumb
with the first metacarpal bone.
The _ligamentum anterius ossis metacarpi et primæ phalangis digiti
secundi_ extends from the tuberculum articulare metacarpi, of the
proximal end of the metacarpus, to the tuberculum articulare of the
first phalanx of the second or large finger. Similarly attached, are
also an internal and a posterior ligament, or _ligamentum internum_ and
_ligamentum posterius_.
The three phalanges are all provided with capsular ligaments, or
ligamenta capsularia, which bind together the several phalanges.
The small or third finger is connected to the metacarpus by a capsular
ligament, the _ligamentum capsulare_, and by an interosseous ligament,
or _ligamentum interosseum digitorum_, to the first phalanx of the
second finger.
=Ligaments of the Pelvis.=—The obturator foramen, formed by the ilium
and the ischium, is covered by a broad membranous ligament (Fig. 4, No.
29).
The oblong foramen, or foramen oblongum, and the foramen ischiadicum,
formed by the ischium and the pubis are covered by broad membranous
ligaments (Fig. 4, Nos. 29 and 60).
_Poupart’s ligament_ or _ligamentum Poupartii_, quite small in fowls,
extends from the anterior lower rim of the ilium to the pelvic cavity,
and is inserted at the bottom of the acetabulum.
Another broad ligament originates from the posterior rim of the ischium
and is attached to the square surface of the first coccygeal vertebra.
The _ilio-pubic ligament_ extends from the pubic spine to the last
rudimentary rib.
