flesh, and the individual tendons of one are equal to the individual tendons of the other, if those which correspond to each other are taken.

Unequally equal motive fibers.

17. MOTIVE FIBERS UNEQUALLY EQUAL

are those whose flesh is equal to flesh, and the tendons of one taken together are equal to the tendons of the other taken together, but the individual tendons of one, when compared with the individual tendons of the other, are unequal to each other, as in Table 1, Figure 3, where nine unequally equal motive fibers are represented.

Motive fibers arranged according to the excess of the tendons.

18. MOTIVE FIBERS UNEQUALLY EQUAL ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THE EXCESS OF THE TENDONS

are called such when the individual tendons, which are on the same sides, exceed one another equally; as in Table 1, Figure 3, where all the tendons in the space B A E F, as also all the tendons on the other side in the space D C G H, exceed one another equally.

Order.

19. ORDER

is a series of rectilinear, unequally equal motive fibers, inflexed at the same angles and arranged according to the excess of the tendons, by which the flesh is immediately imposed upon flesh according to the transverse planes, and tendons upon tendons in such a way that the tendinous sides of all the flesh lie in the same two straight lines.

So that the composition of the Order might be understood more distinctly, I have included three figures in Table 1, namely 3, 4, and 5. The third figure shows rectilinear motive fibers that are unequally equal and arranged according to the excess of the tendons. The fourth figure shows the same motive fibers, inflexed equally on both sides, but not yet united.
