This arises mostly from the angle formed by the keel with the body of the sternum, passes by a strong tendon through the foramen triosseum, and is inserted upon the upper tubercle of the humeral crest, which it rotates and abducts.
On the outer side of the humerus between the head and the crista inferior is a groove lodging one of the coraco-humeral ligaments.
The humeral head, which is turned forwards and a little inwards, is convex and elongated in the vertical direction.
In the horse, the mastoido-humeral neither covers the neck nor joins the trapezius; indeed, we have already shown that it is separated by a considerable distance from the head.
When the mastoido-humeral contracts, taking its fixed point above, it acts as an extensor of the humerus, and carries the entire fore-limb forwards.
But whether it be covered by the trapezius, or, as we find in the cat and dog, by the mastoido-humeral muscle (see p.
In the pig and in ruminants, in which the trapezius approaches more closely to the head, the mastoido-humeral occupies, in consequence, a less extent of the cervical region.
In the horse it is attached to the angle of the lower jaw by a tendon, which an aponeurosis that passes under the parotid gland binds to the mastoido-humeral muscle and the mastoid process.
Attached below, like this latter, to the anterior border of the humerus, it covers the scapulo-humeral angle; and is attached by its upper portion to the transverse processes of the first four cervical vertebrae.
The sterno-humeral muscle, in contracting, draws the shoulder and the whole anterior limb backwards.
They are seen to considerably resemble the Yukon Indians, but somewhat less so other Indians in the radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices, and they resemble all the Indians in the relative proportions of the femur at its middle.
But the more basic humero-femoral and radio-humeral indices are practically the same; showing fundamental identity.
These facts are plainly evident from the radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices of the two groups.
The radius is relatively even shorter in the Yukon that it is in the other Eskimo, giving low radio-humeral index.
In the experience of the author, recovery has not occurred in humeral fractures.
The scapulohumeral joint is an enarthrodial (ball and socket) joint wherein the ball orhumeral articulating head greatly exceeds in size the socket or glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Walters[14] reports complete recovery in humeral fracture in a foal three days old.
Because of the force of contusions usually required to effect humeral fracture, the manner in which the bone is broken, with respect to direction, is variable.
Because of the large humeral head articulating as it does with a glenoid cavity, scapulohumeral luxations are very rare in the horse.
In another case the pain commenced in an external humeral and a radial point, but subsequently the shoulder branches of the circumflex became involved.
One case has recently been under my care in which the foci of greatest intensity of the pain were an externalhumeral and a radial point; but besides these there was an exquisitely painful scapular point.
The deltoid branches of the circumflex and the humeralcutaneous branches of the musculo-spiral are much exposed to bruises and to cutting wounds.
The point of maximum tenderness is usually over the radio-humeral joint, the radial collateral and annular ligaments being those most frequently damaged.
It is more common, is always pathological, and is nearly always a result of fracture of the lower end of the humerus or separation of the lower humeral epiphysis and subsequent interference with growth.
Bradford inserts a portion of the trapezius into the humeral insertion of the deltoid.
A subcutaneous abscess may form over the upper end of the ulna or over the radio-humeral joint.
This injury has to be diagnosed from supra-condylar fracture with backward displacement of the lower fragment and from separation of the lower humeral epiphysis.
The ceremonies to be observed are the following:--The celebrant, having received the humeral veil, ascends the altar with the sacred ministers.
The middle gleno-humeral fold is the vestige of a strong ligament which steadies and limits the range of movement of the joint in many lower Mammals.
In Man this has been broken through, but remains of it persist in the superior gleno-humeral fold.
Tendon of the latissimus dorsi muscle, crossed by the intercosto-humeral nerves.
Subscapular artery, crossed by the intercosto-humeral nerves and descending parallel to the external respiratory nerve.
Dorso-humeral region: Diptera; bounded by the anterior end of thorax and transverse suture on two sides and by the dorsopleural suture and dorsocentral region on the two others.
Humeral carina: in Coleoptera, an elevated ridge or keel on the outer anterior angle of elytra.
Humeral suture: in Odonata, runs from just in front the base of the fore-wing to the edge of the median coxa, separating the mesepisternum from the mesepimeron.
Infra-humeral bristles: in Diptera calyptrata; occur immediately in front of the thoracic suture, between the humeral callus and the presutural depression.
Humeral callus: in Diptera, is a rounded callus forming the anterior superior angle of the mesothorax.
First lateral suture: Odonata; starts from beneath base of front wing behind humeral suture and meets it behind second coxa.
Trichoptera; the first and largest branch of the humeral vein.
Humeral bristles: in Diptera, are situated on thehumeral callus.
Humeral veins: in Lepidoptera, secondary veins on posterior wings of Lasiocampids, developed to strengthen the humeral angle.
Oh yes; neither the bone nor nerve has suffered injury; the ball has glanced from the bone, passed under the nerve, and cut the humeral artery.
Balis told me the ball glanced from the bone, passed under the nerve and severed the humeral artery.
The radial-humeral ratio indicates that the lower arm of Fijians is 84 per cent as long as the upper arm.
I think this explained the absence of free effusion in many cases of fracture of the humeral shaft, but when the latter affected the lower third effusion into the elbow was usually abundant.
The humeral must be secured in the middle of the arm, as has been practised in many instances, and with uniform success.
I had occasion last winter to tie the humeral artery, for a wound inflicted upon it in bleeding at the bend of the arm, in a youth eighteen years of age, from one of the border counties of this state.
The large vessels are seldom torn—though the branches of the humeral artery, and the vessel itself, have in a few cases been ruptured—but there is often considerable bloody swelling in this as in all fractures.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "humeral" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
