The dotted lines across diagrams point out that the hollows and prominences are never the same height on both sides of the leg (Figs. 6 and 7).

Plate 15, Figs. 4 and 5, shows how the inner side of the knee falls lower than the outer.

The knee has a very slight extension movement, but can give a large flexion in action, seated, or kneeling (Plate 17, Fig. 1).

Knees: Flesh Markings (Plate 17).

Back view of the knee is given in Fig. 1, indicating the flesh markings around the hollow space behind.

One leg is standing at ease (on the left), showing the slight extension of the knee. The other leg shows knee in flexion position, which can be at a very acute angle.

Full front view of bent knee is given in Fig. 2, and illustrates the patella movement in action. This will be thought a somewhat difficult position to draw, but after careful study of the entwining arrangement of onions, the shape and position of masses can be clearly denned.

As only part of the lower limb can be seen, being tucked under the other leg, the onion B has its course unfinished.
