  2. Lesser tubercle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_tubercle

    The lesser tubercle of the humerus, although smaller, is more prominent than the greater tubercle: it is situated in front, and is directed medially and anteriorly.. The projection of the lesser tubercle is anterior from the junction that is found between the anatomical neck and the shaft of the humerus and easily identified due to the intertubercular sulcus (Bicipital groove).

  3. Humerus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus

    Both these tubercles are found in the proximal part of the shaft. The crest of the lesser tubercle forms the medial lip of the bicipital groove and is the site for insertion of teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles. The lesser tuberosity, is more prominent than the greater: it is situated in front, and is directed medialward and forward.

  4. Anatomical neck of humerus - Wikipedia

    It gives attachment to the capsular ligament of the shoulder joint except at the upper inferior-medial aspects. It is best marked in the lower half of its circumference; in the upper half it is represented by a narrow groove separating the head of the humerus from the two tubercles, the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle.

  5. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    The greater tubercle projects as the most lateral structure of the humeral head. Medial to this, in turn, is the lesser tubercle of the humeral head. The subscapularis muscle origin is divided from the remainder of the rotator cuff origins as it is deep to the scapula .

  6. Shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder

    There are also three other ligaments attaching the lesser tubercle of the humerus to lateral scapula and are collectively called the glenohumeral ligaments. [ citation needed ] The transverse humeral ligament , which passes from the lesser tubercle to the greater tubercle of humerus , covers the intertubercular groove , in which the long head ...

  7. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    It is the thickenings of the capsule that passes from the upper part of glenoid to lesser tuberosity and inferior part of the head of humerus. These ligaments are weak unlike its posterior part which is supported by the infraspinatus muscle. [4] Coracohumeral ligament [4] Transverse humeral ligament [4] Coraco-acromial ligament [7]

  8. Bicipital groove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicipital_groove

    The bicipital groove separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle. [1] It is usually around 8 cm long and 1 cm wide in adults. [1] The groove lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii muscle, positioned between the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major muscle on the medial lip.
