Elements of Myology (Elementorum Myologiae Specimen)

flesh to flesh, and tendons to tendons, are called HOMOGENEOUS, if those which are similarly situated are taken.

Composite order.

25. AN ORDER COMPOSED OF ORDERS is said to be when the planes of several orders are joined to one another in the same plane.

Versus a row or rank.

26. A VERSUS is a series of rectilinear motive fibers that are equally equal and inflexed at the same angles, by which, since the planes of the motive fibers are parallel to one another, the flesh is immediately imposed upon the flesh according to the lateral planes in such a way that the transverse sides of all the flesh lie in the same straight lines.

How many, and what kind of planes are in a versus. Tab. 1. F. 6.

27. From the composition, it is evident that there are three distinct rectangular planes in the versus I D, of which the intermediate one, K C, is the RECTANGLE OF THE FLESH, and the extremes, I B, L D, are the RECTANGLES OF THE TENDONS.

Rectangle of the flesh.

28. THE RECTANGLE OF THE FLESH K C is comprehended under the fleshy side B C, and the straight line C L, composed of the transverse sides of all the flesh, which straight line I likewise call the TRANSVERSE SIDE.

Width of the versus.

29. THE WIDTH OF THE VERSUS is the distance between the fleshy sides B C, K L, which is demonstrated from the definition of the versus to be equal to the widths of the individual pieces of flesh taken together.

Unequally equal versus.

30. UNEQUALLY EQUAL VERSUS are those whose rectangles of the flesh are equal to one another, and the two rectangles of the tendons of one versus taken together are equal to the two rectangles of the tendons of another versus taken together, but the individual rectangles of the tendons of one, when compared with the individual rectangles of the tendons of the other, are unequal to each other.
