The lateral border was defined by a straight line from the most superolateral point of the collateral sulcus to the superior point of the mediotemporal cortex in the crural cistern.
They open outwards at the crural papillaesmall wart-like bumps on the belly side of the legand secrete chemical messenger materials called pheromones.
A broad transverse intermuscular septum, called the deep transverse fascia of the leg, intervenes between the superficial and deep posterior crural muscles.
A probable description of the fascia is in the text which discusses femoral (called crural) hernia in the male.
It is strengthened in front by a band termed the deep crural arch.
The spurs are connected to the venom-producing crural glands, forming the crural system.
The female platypus, in common with echidnas, has rudimentary spur buds that do not develop (dropping off before the end of their first year) and lack functional crural glands.
