2. Tlic nutrient artery to the humerus, about the middle. Find the nutrient 

 foramen directed toward the elbow on the inner surface of the humerus, near 

 the insertion of the coraco-brachial muscle. 



3. Tlie Superior Profunda Artery. Find this artery on a level with the major 

 tereal muscle. It accompanies the musculo-spiral nerve in the groove bearing 

 the same name. This artery supplies the triceps and gives off an artery to the 

 upper one-third of the humerus. It anastomoses with the radial recurrent, the 

 posterior ulnar recurrent, and the posterior interosseous recurrent, and with the 

 inferior profunda and anastomotica magna arteries. 



4. The inferior prof nnda you will find a little below the middle of the arm. It 

 joins the ulnar nerve, accompanies the same, and terminates by anastomosing 

 with the anastomotica magna and posterior ulnar recurrent arteries.
