To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each is a double-bellied muscle which divides, and is doubly inserted : one insertion being into the first phalanx and sesamoid beneath it, and the other extending upwards towards the sheath of the extensor tendons, and so helping to retract the claws. The muscles of the anterior region of the trunk, and of the fwre- limbs, are invested by a membrane called the superficial fa^cia^ and a synovial membrane is placed in the subcutaneous tissue which invests the acromion, olecranon, and joints of t...he paw. A deeper, stronger fascia is placed in the axilla, which descends the arm and becomes continuous with the annular ligaments of the wrist, beneath which pass the flexor and extensor tendons, their passage being facilitated by the presence of synovial membranes. The strong palmar fascia, in which the palmaris longus ends, has already been mentioned. As to the STRETCH OF MUSCLES ovcr the segments of the pectoral limb, we have seen that some muscles which are inserted into the shoulder girdle proceed from the trunk, as the trapezius; others pro- ceed from the shoulder-girdle to the upper arm, as the deltoid; others fit)m the upper-arm to the fore-arm, as the brachialis anticus ; and, finally, others horn the fore-arm to the hand, as the deep flexors of the digits.
