The inferior narrow elongated end of the coracoid forms with the sternum a true articulation, which is provided with a capsular ligament, the _ligamentum capsulare_. Capsular ligaments occur at the articulations between the sternum and ribs. =Ligaments of the Shoulder-joint= (Fig. 13).—The shoulder-joint is made up of the scapula, the humerus, and the coracoid. The ends of these three bones form the _foramen triosseum_ (Fig. 15, No. _A_, 7) through which passes the tendon of the elevator muscle of the wing. The furcula, independent of the shoulder-joint or girdle, is attached to the supero-internal part of the proximal end of the coracoid by fibrous connective tissue; it is also connected to the other bones of the shoulder-joint by the _ligamentum coraco-furculare_ and the _ligamentum furculo-scapulare_. The _ligamentum coraco-scapulare_ extends from the tuberosity of the furcula to the coracoid and to the processus furcularis of the scapula. The _ligamentum coracoido-scapulare externum_ extends between the external tuberosity of the coracoid, the tuberosity of the scapula, and the humerus. The _ligamentum coracoideo-scapulare inferius_ extends from the coracoid to the inner tubercle of the scapula. Another long, broad ligament belongs to the episternal apparatus. The shoulder-joint is provided with a wide, loose, _capsular ligament_ (Fig. 13, No. 13). Attached to the humerus are four other ligaments, of which three pass from the anterior end of the coracoid and the fourth from the scapula. The latter are as follows: first, the _supero-anterior ligamentum humero-coracoideum_, which extends from the small tubercle of the humerus to the coracoid bone; second, the _antero-inferior ligamentum humero-coracoideum_, which extends from the humerus to the coracoid; third, the _ligamentum coraco-humerale_, which extends from the coracoid to the large tubercle of the humerus; fourth, the _ligamentum humero-scapulare_ which extends between the processus humeralis of the scapula and the head of the humerus. =Ligaments of the Elbow-joint= (Fig. 14).—The elbow-joint is made up of the ulna, radius and the humerus. The ligaments of the elbow-joint are as follows: the _ligamentum capsulare cubiti_, or capsular ligament, which extends from the processus cubitalis of the humerus to the processus olecranalis coracoideus of the ulna and to the tuberositas radii of the radius (Fig. 15, No 5). The _ligamentum laterale cubiti externum_ connects the outer humeral distal extremity with the head of the radius (Fig. 15, No. 2). The _ligamentum laterale cubiti internum_ lies between the inner distal extremity of the humerus and the tuberculum internum of the ulna (Fig. 14, No. 9). The _ligamentum annulare radii_ originates on the olecranon, surrounds the head of the radius, and is attached to the tuberculum internum of the ulna (Fig. 15, No. 3). The _ligamentum cubiti teres_ extends from the head of the radius to the upper end of the ulna (Fig. 15, No. 4).
