Text Appearing Before Image:
INTRODUCTION. 21 In this outline of the theory of the lever, the forces have been considered as acting vertically, or parallel to the direc- tion of the force of gravity. Passive Organs of Locomotion. Bones.—The solid frame- work or skeleton of animals which supports and protects their more delicate tissues, whether chemically composed of ento- moline, carbonate, or phosphate of lime; whether placed in- ternally or externally; or whatever may be its form or dimensions, presents levers and fulcra for the action of the muscular system, in all animals furnished with earthy solids for their support, and possessing locomotive power." ^ The levers and fulcra are well seen in the extremities of the deer, the skeleton of which is selected for its extreme elegance.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 4. Skeleton of the Deer (after Pander and D'Alton). The bones in the ex- tremities of this the fleetest of quadrupeds are inclined very obliquely towards each other, and towards the scapular and iliac bones. This arrangement in- creases the leverage of the muscular system and confers great rapidity on the moving parts. It augments elasticity, diminishes shock, and indirectly begets continuity of movement, a. Angle formed by the femur with the ilium, h. Angle formed by the tibia and flbula with the femur, c.
