In the humerus, drill-mangabeys, drills and mandrills share a notably broad deltoid plane, a proximally extended supinator crest, a broad flange for the brachialis, and a narrow olecranon process with a deep lateral ridge, and there are also characters in the radius and ulna that unite these monkeys to the exclusion of their close relatives. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
I had two reasons: one, obviously, was to add a PhD to the doctorate that I had earned with a thesis on the clinical problems of neuritis of the plexus brachialis at the University of Basel. ❋ Unknown (1997)
Or the nerve and vessel may be lying concealed beneath a slip of the brachialis anticus muscle, E, ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
The inner side is formed by the serratus magnus muscle, M, Plate 12, on the side of the thorax; the external side is formed by the scapular and humeral insertion of the subscapular muscle, the humerus and coraco-brachialis muscle; and the posterior side is formed by the latissimus dorsi, the teres and body of the subscapular muscle. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
If it be required to ligature the artery at this locality, an incision two inches and a half in length, made along the course of the vessel, and avoiding the superficial veins, will expose the fascia; and this being next divided on the director, the artery will be exposed resting on the brachialis anticus, and between the biceps tendon and pronator teres muscle. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
B. Axillary artery, crossed by one root of the median nerve; b, basilic vein, forming, with a, the axillary vein, A.C. C.raco-brachialis muscle. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
D. Axillary plexus of nerves, of which d is a branch on the coracoid border of the axillary artery; e, the musculo-cutaneous nerve, piercing the coraco-brachialis muscle; f, the ulnar nerve; g, musculo-spiral nerve; h, the median nerve; i, the circumflex nerve. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
As the coracoid process points to the situation of the artery in the axilla, so the coraco-brachialis muscle, C, marks the exact locality of the vessel as it emerges from this region; the artery ranges along the inner margin of both the process and the muscle, which latter, in fleshy bodies, sometimes overhangs and conceals it. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
E, the brachialis anticus muscle, and between the two accompanying veins; at the inner side of the artery, but separated from it by a small interval occupied by one of the veins, is situated the median nerve d, ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
When the vessel has passed the insertion of the coraco-brachialis, it becomes situated at the inner side of the biceps, which also partly overlaps it, as it now lies on the forepart of the brachialis anticus. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)
The Branchial Plexus (plexus brachialis) (Fig. 807). ❋ Unknown (1918)
In the great majority of cases it passes forward and medially, and comes to lie against the anterior surface of the neck of the scapula, under cover of the tendons of origin of the biceps and coraco-brachialis muscles, constituting the _sub-coracoid dislocation_. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The head leaves the capsule through the rent made in its lower part, and, either from a continuation of the force or from contraction of the muscles inserted into the inter-tubercular (bicipital) groove, particularly the great pectoral, passes medially under cover of the biceps and coraco-brachialis till it comes to rest against the anterior surface of the neck of the scapula, just below the coracoid process. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
Occasionally, as a sequel to the dislocation, processes of bone develop in relation to the insertion of the brachialis and interfere with the movements of the joint. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
As the fracture is usually within a quarter of an inch of the tip, the fibres of insertion of the brachialis prevent displacement. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The coronoid process is often broken, or the tendon of the brachialis torn. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
According to D.M. Greig, they do not develop in the tendon of the brachialis, but under it, and are not of the nature of myositis ossificans. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
As the coraco-clavicular ligaments usually remain intact, there is no displacement; but when these are torn the coracoid is dragged downwards and laterally by the combined action of the pectoralis minor, biceps, and coraco-brachialis muscles. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
When some days have elapsed before reduction is attempted, forcible manipulations are to be deprecated as they greatly increase the risk of ossification occurring in relation to the brachialis (D.M. Greig); and recourse should be had to open operation, and the tearing or bruising of the soft parts should be reduced to a minimum. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
_ -- The relation of the median nerve to the vessel varies according to the part of the arm -- thus, as low as the insertion of the coraco-brachialis it is to the outer side, as has been described, it then crosses the vessel obliquely, and two inches above the elbow it is on the inner side of the artery. ❋ Joseph Bell (1874)
