The word "coraco" in example sentences

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)

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 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)

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)

Instead of fulfilling its normal function of preventing displacement, the coraco-acromial arch acted as a fulcrum. ❋ Unknown (1896)

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 coraco-acromial and coraco-clavicular ligaments are usually torn, and the detached fragment, along with the head of the humerus, sinks into the axilla, causing a flattening of the shoulder, and leaving a depression below the projecting acromion. ❋ 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)

The most common site of fracture is in the _middle third_ (Fig. 13), and this usually results from indirect violence, such as a fall on the outstretched hand, the elbow, or the outer aspect of the shoulder, the force being transmitted through the glenoid cavity to the scapula, and thence by the coraco-clavicular ligaments to the clavicle. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)

The integrity of the coraco-clavicular ligaments prevents any marked drooping of the shoulder. ❋ 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)

_ -- 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)

When the patient is very fat or muscular, the coraco-brachialis muscle may be required as a guide to the vessel; but in general its superficial position renders any guide quite unnecessary, even in the dead body. ❋ Joseph Bell (1874)

The brachial artery may easily be compressed by the fingers or tourniquet, against the humerus, at any point along the border of the coraco-brachialis above, and the biceps farther down. ❋ Unknown (1863)

In the upper portion the coraco-brachialis muscle is the guide for the operation; while in the lower portion the inner margin of the biceps furnishes the proper indication. ❋ Unknown (1863)

When the Coracoid process is broken -- which is a rare accident -- the fragment is carried inward and downwards, by the conjoined action of the pectoralis major and the coraco-brachialis muscles. ❋ Unknown (1863)

The direction of this vessel is marked by a line extending from the outer side of the axillary space to a point midway between the condyles of the humerus, which corresponds with the depression along the inner border of the coraco-brachialis and biceps muscles. ❋ Unknown (1863)

-- Triceps, musculo-spinal nerve, superior profunda artery, coraco-brachialis, bracialis anticus, and bend of the elbow. ❋ Unknown (1863)

If a patient presents with an acromioclavicular a. Dupuytrens's contracture dislocation b. hypertrophic non-union a. the coraco-clavicular ligament has also ruptured c. ❋ Unknown (2008)
