The Compleat Surgeon: or, the whole Art of Surgery explain'd in a most familiar Method.
Le Clerc, M. (Charles Gabriel)
Surgery -- Early works to 1800
The _Rotundus Minor_, or _Teres Minor_, proceeds from the lower Rib of the
_Omoplata_, and adheres to the Neck of the Shoulder-Bone with the
_Infra-Spinatus_ to draw it in like manner backward.
The _Sub-scapularis_ or _Immersus_ is situated entirely under the
_Omaplata_, proceeding from the internal Lip of the _Basis_ or Root of the
same _Omoplata_, and being terminated in the Neck of the Arm-Bone, which it
causeth to lie close to the Ribs.
_How many Motions are there in the_ Cubitus _or Elbow, and what are its
Muscles?_
The _Cubitus_ or _Ulna_ is endu'd with two sorts of Motions, _viz._ that of
Flection and that of {41} Extension, the former being perform'd by the help
of two Muscles, that is to say, the _Biceps_, and the _Brachiæus Internus_;
and the later by eight others, which are the _Longus_, the _Brevis_, the
_Brachiæus Externus_, and the _Anconeus_.
The _Biceps_ is a Muscle with two Heads, one whereof proceeds from the
_Apophysis Coracoides_, and the other from the Cartilaginous edge of the
_Glenoid_ Cavity of the _Omoplata_ or Shoulder-Blade: These two Heads
descend along the fore-part of the Arm, and are united in one and the same
Body, from whence springs forth a Ligament, which is inserted in a
tuberosity situated in the upper and fore-part of the _Radius_.
The _Brachiæus Internus_ is a small fleshy Muscle, lying hid under the
_Biceps_, which takes its rise in the upper and fore-part of the _Humerus_,
and is implanted in the upper and inner-part of the _Radius_, to bend the
Elbow with the _Biceps_.
The first of the four Extenders is the _Longus_ having two Sources, _viz._
one situated in the lower Rib of the _Omoplata_, near its Neck, and the
other descending to the hinder-part of the Arm, till it is tyed to the
_Olecranum_ or _Ancon_, by a strong _Aponeurosis_, which is common thereto,
with the _Brevis_, and the _Brachiæus Externus_.
The _Brevis_ or short Muscle of the Elbow arising from the hinder and
upper-part of the _Humerus_, is fasten'd to the _Olecranum_ with the
_Longus_.
The _Brachiæus Externus_ is a fleshy Muscle which proceeds from the hinder
part of the {42} _Humerus_, and adheres to the _Olecranum_ with the
_Brevis_ and the _Longus_.
The _Anconeus_ or _Cubitalis_ being situated behind the Fold of the
_Cubitus_, is the least Muscle of all; it springs from the Extremity of the
Arm-Bone, at the end of the _Brevis_ and the _Longus_, and in descending is
inserted between the _Radius_ and the _Cubitus_ or _Ulna_, three or four
Fingers breadth below the _Olecranum_.
_How many Muscles hath the _Radius_, and which are its Motions?_
The _Radius_ is endu'd with a twofold Motion by the means of four Muscles:
Of these the _Rotundus_ and _Quadratus_ cause that of _Pronation_, as the
_Longus_ and the _Brevis_ that of _Supination_.
