MUSCLES OF THE ARM

The =biceps brachii= is fusiform and not greatly developed. Its tendon

of origin is rounded and passes through the capsule of the shoulder

joint. The tendon of insertion is bifid, ending on the radius and ulna.

The =brachialis= is well developed, and also ends on the radius and

ulna.

The =tensor fascias antibrachii= resembles that of the horse.

The =long head of the triceps= is divided into two parts, except at its

distal end, under which there is a synovial bursa. The =external head=

is inserted into a crest on the outer surface of the olecranon by a thin

tendon, under which there is a bursa. The =internal head= arises near

the head of the humerus, beneath the coraco-brachialis.

There are two =anconei=.
