The capsular ligament encircles theheads of the scapula and coraco-humeral is a broad bandbetween the coracoid process of thescapula and the greater tuberosity ofthe humerus. The glenoid is a car-tilaginous band around the margin ofthe glenoid cavity, which it deepens. The synovial membrane of thisjoint is very extensive, and the articu-lation admits of every kind of motion. Fig. SHOULDER JOINT. Fig. 31. The Elbow Joint.—At this articu-lation the humerus, ulna, and radius are connected byfour ligaments in addition to its synovial are the anterior, composed of fibres, which passvertically, transversely, and obliquely, forming a broadmembranous layer, between the anterior surface ofthe humerus and the coronoid process of the ulna andorbicular ligament; the posterior, a broad loose layerbetween the posterior surface of the humerus and theolecranon; the internal lateral, a thick triangularlayer passing between the inner condyle of the hu-merus to the margin of the greater sigmoid cavity ofthe ulna; and the external lateral, a strong narrowband descending from the external condyle of thehumerus to the orbicular ligament and ridge of theulna. The motions of this articulation are flexion and ex-tension, the former being limited by the coronoidprocess, and the latter by the olecranon. An internal view of
