Duval's Artistic Anatomy

Duval’s Artistic Anatomy is completely revised with additional original illustrations, edited and amplified by A. Melville Paterson. A chapter heading reads The Humerus and Elbow-Joint, with the bony structure of the arm and elbow listed first. The text says that when the hand is prone the two bones of the forearm cross each other, the ulna practically remaining fixed while the radius changes its position so as to cross it.

The text says that in the superior radio-ulnar articulation the head of the radius revolves on its own axis, while in the inferior one, on the contrary, the radius moves round the head of the ulna, as a wheel round its axle. The text says that at the outer border of the wrist two tendons form a prominence, well marked beneath the skin, when the thumb is separated from the other fingers. The text says the lateral borders of the sternum are not vertical but concave, and that each lateral border is marked by seven small notches for the cartilages of the first seven ribs.
