Elements of Myology (Elementorum Myologiae Specimen)

the lateral planes E B, C F are oblique-angled, while the transverse planes E D, A F and the extreme planes A C, B D are right-angled.

So that the sides of these planes may be distinctly proposed,

Carnous sides of the flesh.

5. I call those CARNOUS SIDES which are common to the transverse planes and the lateral planes: such as A B, and the others parallel to it.

Tendinous sides of the flesh.

6. TENDINOUS SIDES, which are common to the extreme planes and the lateral planes: such as E A, and the others parallel to it.

Transverse sides of the flesh.

7. TRANSVERSE SIDES, which are common to the transverse planes and the extreme planes: such as E C, and the others parallel to it.

Length of the flesh.

8. LENGTH OF THE FLESH is the straight line between its extreme planes, parallel to the carnous sides, and therefore equal to them: such as A B.

Width of the flesh.

9. WIDTH OF THE FLESH is the distance between the lateral planes, and therefore equal to the transverse side, B F.

Thickness of the flesh.

10. THICKNESS OF THE FLESH is the distance between the transverse planes.

Tendon.

11. A TENDON is the extreme part of the motive fiber, thin, hard, and white. Since both extremities of the motive fiber are of the same consistency and color, I shall call both a tendon, leaving the word ligament for that part of the tendons which is carried between two bones.

Plane of the motive fiber.

12. Since the opposing tendons K M, I N in the same motive fiber M K, I N are in the plane M N, which is parallel to the lateral planes A G, H D and bisects the transverse planes C G,
