Bicipital Groove Artery
The bicipital groove lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii between the tendon of the pectoralis major on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major on the medial lip.
Bicipital groove artery. Content s of bicipital groove is 1 radial artery. Bicipital groove or intertubercular groove divides the lesser and greater tubercles and afterwards proceeds interiorly over the proximal shaft of the humerus the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii travels via this sulcus. 11 in contrast determe et al. Bicipital groove of right humerus.
It also transmits a branch of the anterior humeral. 3 ascending branch of anterior circumflex artery. Each sideward branch deriving from the main ascending branches of the anterior humeral circumflex artery acha in the mesotenon of the lhbt was identified and. 2 coracobrachialis muscle.
Identified the main artery in the mesotenon as recurrent branch of the brachial artery in their gross anatomical. The bicipital groove intertubercular groove sulcus intertubercularis is a deep groove on the humerus that separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle the bicipital groove lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii between the tendon of the pectoralis major on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major on the medial lip. The bicipital groove including the lhbt and its intact sheath was cut en bloc fixated sliced in 7 μm sections azan stained and the vascular anatomy analyzed under light microscopy. Confirmed by computed tomography angiography in cadaveric shoulder that the arterial supply of the lhbt in the bicipital groove always derived from an ascending branch of the acha.
