The circumflexnerve furnishes twoarticular branches,one of which is givenoff not far from itsorigin, and suppliesthe anterior aspectof the capsule of theshoulder joint. The second is intended for the lower and internalpart of the articulation, and is given off at the partwhere the circumflex winds round the neck of the M.

The musculo-cutaneous nerve gives off :— {a) The nerve to the diaphysis of the humerus, amotor nerve containing also a few sensory fibres ^ forthe periosteum and for the bony substance of thehumerus. It accompanies the vessels of the diaphysisand enters the nutrient foramen of the bone. Thefilaments are lost in the compact tissue and in themarrow of the bone.
