The tubercles of the humerus are separated from each other by a deep groove, the intertubercular groove (bicipital groove, sulcus intertubercular), which lodges the long tendon of the Biceps brachii and transmits a branch of the anterior humeral circumflex artery to the shoulder-joint.

It runs obliquely downward, and ends near the junction of the upper with the middle third of the bone.

It is the lateral wall of the axilla.cite web |url=http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/limbs/axilla_ans.html#2o |title=Dissector Answers - Axilla and Arm |accessdate=2007-12-23 |format= |work=]
