Numerous vascular foramina are scattered along the line of the anatomical neck, the larger ones being situated near the proximal end of the inter-tubercular groove. The vascularity of the bone is here intimately associated with the activity of its growth in this situation. Connexions.—The humerus articulates proximaliy with the scapula, and distally with the radius and ulna. Embedded, as the humerus is, in the substance of the arm, its shaft and head are surrounded on all sides. It is only at its distal part that it comes into direct relation with the surface, the medial epicondyle forming a characteristic projection on the medial side of the elbow; whilst the lateral epicondyle, less prominent, and the lateral epicondylic ridge can best be recognised when the elbow is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cunningham, D.
