30 paź 2023 · The humerus is the longest and largest bone of the upper limb. It consists of a proximal end, a shaft and a distal end, all which contain important anatomical landmarks. The humerus articulates with the scapula proximally at the glenohumeral joint so it participates in the movements of the shoulder.
13 lis 2023 · Major muscles of the shoulder, arm, forearm and hand. The upper limb (upper extremity) is truly a complex part of human anatomy. It is best studied broken down into its components: regions, joints, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.

16 lis 2023 · Definition and function. Group of muscles located around the humerus in the upper limb, which primarily flex and extend the forearm. Muscles. Biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, brachialis, triceps brachii and anconeus. Innervation. Flexors: musculocutaneous nerve, radial nerve (brachialis only) Extensors: radial nerve.
The humerus serves as an attachment to 13 muscles which contribute to the movements of the hand and elbow, and therefore the function of the upper limb. The humerus, as the longest bone in the upper extremity, serves several crucial functions within the musculoskeletal system.
14 wrz 2021 · There are three muscles on the upper arm that are parallel to the long axis of the humerus, the biceps brachii, the brachialis, and the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii is on the anterior side of the humerus and is the prime mover (agonist) responsible for flexing the forearm.
