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] It lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii muscle between the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major muscle on the medial lip.
gingival sulcus; gluteal sulcus; Henle's fissure, a fissure in the connective tissue between the muscle fibers of the heart; interlabial sulci; intermammary sulcus; intertubercular sulcus, the groove between the lesser and greater tubercules of the humerus (bone of the upper arm) lacrimal sulcus (sulcus lacrimalis) malleolar sulcus
The pulse of the brachial artery can be felt in the medial bicipital groove. [1] It should be distinguished from the bicipital groove or intertubercular sulcus, which is not a surface anatomy structure. It is the groove where the long head of biceps tendon runs between the greater and lesser tubercles below the humeral head before inserting ...
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).
The suffix "-flexus / -flexid" (upper molar / lower molar) is used for the open valleys in the occlusal surfaces of the hypsodont teeth. When this valleys are enclosed, they are called fossetes/fossetids (upper molar / lower molar). Sometimes they are used also for the folds of the teeth, although the proper name for the folds is sulcus (pl ...
In dental anatomy, the gingival sulcus is an area of potential space between a tooth and the surrounding gingival tissue and is lined by sulcular epithelium. The depth of the sulcus (Latin for groove ) is bounded by two entities: apically by the gingival fibers of the connective tissue attachment and coronally by the free gingival margin .

The depth of this crevice, known as a sulcus, is in a constant state of flux due to microbial invasion and subsequent immune response. Located at the depth of the sulcus is the epithelial attachment, consisting of approximately 1 mm of junctional epithelium and another 1 mm of gingival fiber attachment, comprising the 2 mm of biologic width ...
