in early life.* A strong ligamentous expanse, marked 4, is observed extending between the clavicle a and coracoid process 5 of the scapula.' Another generally embraces the subclavius muscle m. The rhomboid ligament extends between the sternal extremity of the clavicle, and the cartilage of the first rib, as represented in Fig. 3 of Plate IX., marked 10. The ligaments of the sternum, and those connecting the clavicle to the sternum, are delineated in this plate on the left side. The ligamentous fibres of the sternum are observed to derive their origin from the cartilages of the ribs at their articulations, and to extend across to the right side in a radiating manner ;f these obscure a few longitudi- nal fibres, some of which, however, are seen descending to the ensiform cartilage, which, along with those arising from the seventh rib, are named ligamentum cartilaginis ensifor- mis; the former being termed membrana sterni propria.;]: The articulation of one of the ribs a, to the sternum e, is laid open, which illustrates the capsular ligament 3, surrounding the smooth surface of the cartilage of the rib, and the articular depression in the side of the ster- num. These ligaments are denominated ligamenta cap- sularia cartilaginum costarum verarum.§ A number of scattered perpendicular ligamentous fibres are observed descending from one cartilage to be insert- ed into the contiguous cartilage, which are named liga- menta costarum ipsarum propria. The capsular ligament connecting the sternal extremity The subclavius muscle is in some degree concerned in dislocation of either extremity of the clavicle. t Syn. Ligamenta costarum coruscantia.
