Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...are at first irregular, and formed by the adjacent connective tissue; finally, this becomes smooth and forms the sac-wall. The fact that no complete epithelial lining exists on the walls affords some support to the assumption that these sacs are formed after the foetus has left the uterus. In certain situations, however, subcutaneous bursae may be demonstrated in the human foetus from the, eighth month of intra-uterine life up to birth, e.g., over the tuberosity of the os calcis, the base of the fifth metatarsal bone, and under the skin covering the ball of the great toe. Hyrtl has recorded the circumstance in his " Lehrbuch der Anatomie," S. 516 (Vierzehnte Auflage), and I have frequently verified the condition. The presence of these bursae is a striking illustration of pathological conditions becoming inherited. Abnormal pressure on projecting partsof a foetus whilst in utero has been known to give rise to a subcutaneous bursa. Subtendinous bursae are very constant, and may be demonstrated in'the foetus of man, calves, colts, kittens, etc. Doubtless many subtendinous bursae arise after birth, but Professor Eichbaum has pointed out that many bursae in the newlyborn foal and calf are relatively larger than in the older animal, and that bursae formed before birth have even walls, but those which arise after this event are to be distinguished by their rough fibrinous walls. Two bursal sacs originally separate may, by enlargement of the cavity, pressure, and gradual thinning of their walls, eventually fuse and form one large bursa. Many subtendinous bursae are in communication with the sheaths of tendons and with joints. A good example of this is the calcanean bursa, which communicates with the sheath of the superficial flexor of the phalanges in the...
