What is Which muscle is inseed into the floor of the inteubercular sulcus of the humerus? and explain in detail?
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Latissimus dorsi The shaft of humerus is cylindrical in the upper half and triangular on cross-section in the lower half. The upper pa has inteubercular sulcus (bicipital groove) anteriorly. Bicipital groove contains long head of biceps with its synol sheath and an ascending branch of anterior circumflex humeral aery. Middle third of posterior surface of shaft of the humerus has a spiral groove (radial groove) which contains radial nerve and profunda brachi vessels. Attachment to shafts are ? i) Inseions of pectoralis major (on lateral lip of bicipital groove), latissimus dorsi (on floor of bicipital groove), teres major (on deltoid tuberosity) and coracobrachialis (medially on mid shaft). ii) Origin of brachialis (anterior surface); Lateral and medial head of triceps (posterior surface); pronater teres (from medial supracondylar ridge); brachioradialis (from lateral supracondylar ridge) and ECRL (from lateral supracondylar ridge).
