Also known as arms

In human anatomy, the arm refers to the upper limb in common usage, although academically the term specifically means the upper arm between the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint) and the elbow joint. The distal part of the upper arm between the elbow and the radiocarpal joint (wrist joint) is known as the forearm or "lower" arm, and the extremity beyond the wrist is the hand.

AI overview

Your arm is the upper part of your limb that extends from your shoulder to your elbow, though people often use "arm" casually to refer to your entire upper limb including the forearm and hand. It matters because it's a key part of your body that enables you to reach, grasp, and manipulate objects in your environment.

臂(英語:arm)又称手臂,是动物上肢的一部分;在人体是介於肩到腕之間的部分,包含上臂与前臂,而其中的關節為肘。 在人體解剖學術語使用上,上臂(arm、upper arm)是指上肢介於和肘關節之間的部位。 拉丁语 brachium 既可以指整条手臂,也可以单指上臂,解剖学术语常用于单指“上臂”即“肱”,如:(brachial artery)局限于上臂。
