Senses: examples: text: supraacromial branch
text: supraacromial nerves
text: The Nature of Pains About the Shoulder.—Pains just above the shoulder and about the acromion are due to involvement of the supraacromial nerves, which are branches of the fourth cervical. The deep-seated pains referred to the parts about the joint and in the deltoid, are caused by the circumflex nerve which originates from the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical, and which is a sensory motor nerve. The superficial circumflex nerve-pains are felt more posteriorly and over the body of the deltoid; there is a painful point where the nerve becomes superficial (Fig. 8). Pains on the anterior and inner surfaces of the shoulder and upper arm are due to involvement of the intercostohumeral, second dorsal. Shoulder pains, however, generally may be said to be circumflex and supraacromial and to mean involvement of the fibers from the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical nerve roots. […] Summary.—Shoulder pains, then, mean involvement mainly of the circumflex; if they extend up, the supraacromial nerves; if they extend down to involvement of the radial, and if they extend back to the collateral muscular nerves going to the scapular region.

compossibility
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: In other words, the qualitative nature or content of a property determines its logic, which in turn logically determines the properties with which it can be coinstantiated or be compossible. Considered purely logically, the totality of compossibilities of a particular property—the totality of possible coinstantiations with other properties—may be called the logical form of that property. It should also be noted that while the logical form of a property allows for its coinstantiation with a whole host of other properties, it does not allow for coinstantiation with more than one property of a particular type at any one time. Such multiple coinstantiation is excluded as a matter of logic. For instance, and continuing with the preceding example, while the property green may be coinstantiated with the properties soft and hard respectively, it cannot be coinstantiated with each of these at one and the same time because the one logically excludes the other.
