(d) _Caput Humerale Posticum_ (Plate I., Fig. 4, ahp) (Longissimum
caput m. brachiei internum, Theil des inneren [kurzen] Kopfes des
dreiköpfigen Streckers, Theil des Triceps Nr. 3, Theil des Triceps
internus, Theil der Portion humérale interne du triceps brachial,
[Mittler] vom Humerus ausgehender Kopf des Streckmuskels des
Vorderarmes). Springs from the middle of the extensor surface of the
humerus between the lateral and medial heads.
(e) _Caput Humerale Mediale_ (Longius caput m. brachiei interni, Theil
des [inneren] kurzen Kopfes des dreiköpfigen Streckers, Theil der
Portion humérale interne du triceps brachial, [Innerer] vom Humerus
ausgehender Kopf des Streckmuskels des Vorderarmes, Theil des Triceps
Nr. 3, Theil des Triceps internus). This head originates on the medial
part of the extensor surface of the upper arm at the end of the medial
process where it is united with the scapulo-humeralis profundus muscle.
The muscle mass formed by the union of all the above heads goes over,
as a broad and somewhat thick tendon, to become inserted on the
proximal part of the ulna.
_Humero-radialis_ (Plate I., Figs. 1 and 4, hr) (Caput longum m.
bicipitis, Eigener kurzer Beuger, [Zweiter] vom Oberarm ausgehender
Beuger, Brachialis externus, Portion _a_ of Brachiæus). A fairly large
muscle on the outer side of the upper arm, lying between the brachialis
inferior and caput humerale laterale muscles, with both of which it
is, at the beginning, united. It originates with its deeper and chief
mass from the outer surface of the humerus, just distal to the lateral
process; while its superficial layer, especially the upper fibers, come
directly from the deltoides scapularis inferior and therefore have
their origin on the scapula. In the middle of the upper arm it becomes
a slender round tendon that extends, through a tendinous loop, to the
radius, on whose outer side, at the end of the proximal third, it is
inserted.
MUSCLES OF THE FOREARM
_Humero-radialis Internus_ (Radialis internus, Lange Vorwärtswender,
Pronateur, Pronator teres, Pronator quadratus, Oberflächlich gelegener,
langer runder Einwärtsdreher). This muscle arises from the condylus
internus (C. ulnaris s. medialis) and attaches itself to the radius
throughout almost its entire length. It is a fairly strong muscle.
_Ulno-radialis_ (Carré pronateur, Pronator teres, Pronator quadratus,
Muskel welcher dem Pronator quadratus entsprecht). A strongly developed
muscle. It springs from the upper part of the flexor surface of the
ulna and is inserted on the lower part of the flexor surface of the
radius.
_Humero-radialis Longus_ (Plate II., Figs. 1 and 2, _1_) (Supinator
longus, Long supinateur, Lange Rückwärtswender, Supinator radii
longus). Among the Crocodilia this and the following muscle are well
developed. This one springs from the condylus externus humeri and is
inserted on the outer side of the entire length of the radius.
