Röhrenknochen des Oberarms

AI overview

The humerus is the long bone in your upper arm that extends from your shoulder to your elbow, connecting the shoulder blade to the two bones of your forearm. It matters because it serves as a crucial structural link in your arm, enabling the connection between your shoulder and forearm bones while supporting the movement and function of your entire arm.

Der Oberarmknochen (lateinisch Os humeri oder kurz Humerus) ist einer der längsten und kräftigsten Röhrenknochen der am Land lebenden Wirbeltiere und bildet die knöcherne Grundlage des Oberarmes. Beim Menschen entspricht die fünffache Länge des Oberarmknochens etwa der Körpergröße.
