The humerus (plural: humeri) is a tubular bone of the arm that articulates proximally at the shoulder with the glenoid of the scapula, and distally at the elbow, with the radius and ulna. Gross anatomy Osteology The humerus begins proximally as... The humerus is a long bone of the upper limb, which extends from the shoulder to the elbow. The proximal aspect of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula, forming the glenohumeral joint. Distally, at the elbow joint, the humerus articulates with the head of the radius and trochlear notch of the ulna. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the humerus – its bony landmarks and clinical correlations. The humerus is the single bone that supports the upper arm region. It extends from the shoulder to the elbow and connects the scapula bone to the radius and the ulna, which support the lower arm. The proximal (upper) end of the humerus consists of a rounded head, a narrow neck, and two bump-like elevations called tubercles. At the distal (lower) end of the humerus are two knob-like protuberances (a condyle) that articulate with the heads of the radius and ulna. Above the condyle are two ... Let us examine the structure of the humerus ( humerus ). Humerus ( humerus ) It is a long tubular bone with several main parts: Body (corpus humeri / diaphysis) Body (corpus humeri / diaphysis) Proximal epiphysis (epiphysis proximalis) Proximal epiphysis (epiphysis proximalis) Distal epiphysis (epiphysis distalis) Distal epiphysis (epiphysis distalis) We also distinguish between several surfaces (best seen in the area of the diaphysis of the bone): Anterolateral surface (facies anterolateralis ...
