and observe the following ligaments ; they are very variable 

 in their development. 



(ca) Superior glenohumeral ligament (ligamentum glenohumerale 

 superius) (0. T. coracobrachial ligament of Schlemm, 

 supraglenosuprahumeral ligament of Faraboeuf). Note 

 that it with the coracohumeral ligament forms a gutter in 

 which the long head of the M. biceps runs.

Articulatio humeri, posterior view (the posterior part of the capsule and the head of the humerus 

 have been cut away to show the articular surface of the anterior part of the capsule) . (From Poirier 

 et Charpy, Traite" d'Anat. hum., Paris, 1899, 2 ed. ( t. i. p. 628, Fig. 639.) 



(cb) Middle glenohumeral ligament (ligamentum glenohumerale 



medium) (0. T. Lig. glenoideobrachiale internum of 

 Schlemm or supraglenoprehumeral ligament of Faraboeuf). 

 Between (ca) and (cb) is the interstice known as the "foramen 

 ovale" of Weitbrecht. 



(cc) Inferior glenohumeral ligament (ligamentum glenohumerale 



inferius) (0. T. Lig. glenoideobrachiale inferius of 

 Schlemm, pregleno-infrahumeral ligament of Faraboeuf). 

 (d) Glenoid lip (labrum glenoidale) (0. T. glenoid ligament). 



Divide the capsula articularis and the glenohumeral ligaments 

 in front and pull the head of the humerus away from the glenoid 

 cavity. Examine the labrum glenoidale. Note the relation to it of
