The insertion of the latissimus dorsi muscle is found along the floor of the bicipital groove. The teres major muscle inserts on the medial lip of the groove. [citation needed] It runs obliquely downward, and ends near the junction of the upper with the middle third of the bone. It is the lateral wall of the axilla. [2]
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 ...
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 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).
Diagram of tooth anatomy. Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.)
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 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 ...
The fibers of these two muscles run parallel to each other, and both muscles insert at the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus (also described as the medial lip of the intertubercular sulcus). Together with teres minor muscle, teres major muscle forms the axillary space, through which several important arteries and veins pass. [2] [3]
