MUSCLES OF THE THOR/tCIC LIMBS. 183 Its very thick tendon forms the middle and deep part of the common tendon. The common tendon (Fig. 88, c') covers the carpus and metacarpus ven- trally. It divides into five tendons (c) which pass to the five digits and are in- serted into the bases of the terminal phalanges. Those of the first four digits perforate the tendon of the flexor sublimis (/') at the base of the first phalanx of each digit. yVt the same place each passes through a fibrous pulley-ring attached to the base of the phalanx. Each then passes through a second pulley-ring (2) near the head of the phalanx and is finally inserted into the base of the terminal phalanx.
