This joint, although so large, pos-sesses only one ligament, the capsular(fig. 352), but it receives the support ofa number of muscles which pa.ss over itand are intimately connected with it. The shoulder-joint is capable of de-scribing a great variety and consider-able range of movement. It allows oftlexion, extension, abduction, adduction,rotation, and circumduction.

HUMERO-RADIAL OR ELBOW-JOINT Three bones are engaged in the for-mation of this joint—the humerus above,the radius below, and the ulna behind.It lias two lateial ligaments passing fromthe humerus to the radius. The outerone is the stronger and shorter of thetwo; the inner, the longer and smaller.It has also a capsular ligament of con-siderable extent, lined by synovial mem-brane. It is essentially hinge-like in itsaction, and admits only of movements of flexion and extension (fig. 353).
