The conjoint tendon (previously known as the inguinal aponeurotic falx) is a sheath of connective tissue formed from the lower part of the common aponeurosis of the abdominal internal oblique muscle and the transversus abdominis muscle, joining the muscle to the pelvis. It forms the medial part of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal.
Pes anserinus ("goose foot") refers to the conjoined tendons of three muscles of the thigh. Pes means 'foot' in Latin. In Latin, anser means 'goose', and anserinus means 'goose-like'. Pes anserinus inserts onto the anteromedial (front and inside) surface of the proximal tibia.
The tendon's name, which literally means "goose's foot," was inspired by the pes anserinus's webbed, footlike structure. The conjoined tendon lies superficial to the tibial insertion of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee. [citation needed]

The coracoid process acts as an attachment and origin for a large number of muscles (attached muscles not labeled here). The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; [2] it runs at first upward and medially; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and laterally.
There is a second small insertional attachment by a small tendon slip into the lateral condyle of the tibia. [2] At its insertion the tendon divides into two portions, which embrace the fibular collateral ligament of the knee-joint. Together, this joining of tendons is commonly referred to as the conjoined tendon of the knee. [2] [3]
The world’s oldest ever conjoined male twins have died. Ronnie and Donnie Galyon, who in 2014 set the record, died Saturday at 68, Guinness World Records reported Tuesday, pointing to “a ...
The aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique muscle is a thin but strong membranous structure, the fibers of which are directed downward and medially.. It is joined with that of the opposite muscle along the middle line, and covers the whole of the front of the abdomen; above, it is covered by and gives origin to the lower fibers of the pectoralis major; below, its fibers are closely ...
