Humeralis Artehia

(From humerus, the shoulder). The humeral artery arises from the lower and fore side of the axillaris, and runs backward between the head of the os humeri and teres major, surrounding the articulation, till it reaches the posterior part of the deltoides, to which it is distributed. In its course it gives off several branches to the neighbouring parts. A puncture of this artery, near the shoulder, though the haemorrhage may be restrained by ligature, will probably, it is said, be followed by a fatal mortification unless the arm be amputated at the joint.

Humeralis musculus. See Deltoides.

Humeralis nervus. See Cervicales.

Humeri

Humor

(Ab humo, because moisture springs from the ground). Humour. A general name for any fluid; particularly applied to the fluids of the human body, and often to these in their morbid state.

The ancients seem to have called the nutritious juices the radical humours.
