Bone Coupling
24. The outer projection of the Arm Bone, where the Arm Bone along with the inner projection unites or is joined with the Elbow Pipe. See illustrations A and B.
25. The inner projection of the Arm Bone, where the Arm Bone is connected with the outer projection and also with the Elbow Pipe. See the first and second images. This Bone and the bump of the Elbow Bone fit into each other in extending the arm, and in bending result in a longer bent arm than a straight one, as previously indicated.
26. The Elbow or Elbow Bone, which in perspective can be called the larger Elbow Bone; because there are two. They deviate slightly in the middle. The smaller is called the Speek or smaller Elbow Pipe: The Cubitus was used by the Ancients as a Measure by which buildings and other large structures were measured, as noted in architecture. See the Position and Shape of the Elbow Bone in illustrations A and B.
27. The Bump of the Elbow. See illustration A.
28. A projection below the Elbow named by anatomists as styloides. See illustration A.
29. The Speek or Small Elbow Bone being the second of the Elbow Pipe as stated above. See illustrations A and B.
30. The Wrist or Joint of the Hand or Forehand having altogether eight little bones; the Forehand was named to distinguish it from the Middle Wrist of the hand that follows here; see the delineated in illustration A and B.
