and to the humerus in the region of the small tubercle. 

 Between it and the superior gleno-humeral ligament is the 

 opening from the joint into the subscapular bursa. The 

 inferior gleno-humeral ligament is a fan-shaped thickening. 

 It is attached by its smaller extremity to the scapula below 

 the notch in the anterior margin of the glenoid cavity, and, 

 by its broader end, to the neck of the humerus along a line

Dissection. Complete the division of the capsular ligament, 

 divide the tendon of the biceps brachii and draw it through the 

 intertubercular aperture in the capsule, then separate the two 

 bones from one another.
