The other is thin and fmall, of a clofe contexture, and very white, forming the extremities, termed by anatomiils tendons or apeneurofes. Botli portions are coveted by a particular membrane.

MUSCLES. Thefe fibres are connetfed to each other, and to the intermediate fepta, by a great number of very fmall fine filaments, the capillary extremities of arteries, veins, and nerves running over them; and they are inclofed in a thin membranous, cellular covering,, called the proper membrane of the mufcle, being a continuation of the fepta or vaginae already mentioned. The diljiofition of the fibres is various: fome are difpofed like radii; others form planes more or lefs incurvated; and fome form complete circumferences,'the two extremities meeting and uniting together. The difference of mufcles is very confidexable, and depends on many circumftances; the chief of which are, the fize, figure, direftion, fituation, ftrudture, connection, and ule; and it is from thefe differences that the names- of the gicateft part of the mufti;3 are taken.
