The Poonga-Poonga volunteers stood with glistening eyes and grinning faces, naked save for their loin-cloths, and barbarously ornamented. Each wore a flat, turtle-shell ring suspended through his nose, and each carried a clay pipe in an ear-hole or thrust inside a beaded biceps armlet. A pair of magnificent boar tusks graced the chest of one.
To show how muscles relax and contract. Lay your left forearm on a table; grasp with the right hand the mass of flesh on the front of the upper arm. Now gradually raise the forearm, keeping the elbow on the table. This illustrates the contraction of the biceps, and is popularly called "trying your muscle" Reverse the act.
Of the upper arm: The biceps on the front side, the triceps behind, and the deltoid at the upper part of the arm beyond the projection of the shoulder. Of the hand: The adductor pollicis between the thumb and the palm.
Relative to anomalous dislocations the field is too large to be discussed here, but there are two recent ones worthy of mention. Bradley relates an instance of death following a subluxation of the right humerus backward on the scapula It could not be reduced because the tendon of the biceps lay between the head of the humerus and a piece of the bone which was chipped off.
Well, the teeth were gone, but three instead of two, and on laying the arm-bone bare, 'twas plain it had never been broken, and, in like manner, nothing wrong with the right shoulder, and there was nothing like so much deltoid and biceps as Nutter had.
He drew the gray cotton shirt from his shoulders, and threw it back of him with an exclamation of disgust, and of relief at being a free man again, and struck his broad, bare chest and the biceps of his arms with a little gasp of pleasure in their perfect strength, and then bent forward and slid into the river. The current from the opening at Hell Gate caught him up as though he had been a plank.
He was within the range of Ralph's rifle; and a sturdy fellow he was, who seemed good for a couple of miles yet. Should Ralph send a bullet over his head to frighten him? No; that might give the poacher an excuse for sending back a bullet with a less innocent purpose. Poor Biceps, he was panting and puffing in his heavy wraps like a steamboat!
Why is one able to bite harder with the back teeth than with the front ones when the same muscles are used in both cases? Measure the distance from the middle of the palm of the hand to the center of the elbow joint. Find the attachment of the tendon of the biceps muscle to the radius and measure its distance to the center of the elbow joint.
He swelled his biceps proudly under the thin sleeve, reached for the two black stewards, and put them above his head like a pair of dumbbells. "Come on! Swing out on that fore-boom-tackle!" Carlsen shouted from aft, where the mainsail was being winged out. Pankburn dropped the stewards and raced for it, beating a Rapa sailor by two jumps to the hauling part.
"I wonder you didn' want to enlist," said Nicky-Nan. "I did: but I was too tall too tall and too strong," sighed the policeman, bending his arm and causing his biceps to swell up mountainously. "You haven't a notion how strong I am if, for instance, I took it into my head to catch you up and heave you over the Quay here. Yes, yes, I am wonderfully well made!
