Humerus The trochlea has a surface shaped like a pulley and covers the anterior, posterior and inferior surfaces of the medial condyle of the humerus. It articulates with the ulna at the trochlear notch. When the elbow is in the extended position, the posterior and inferior aspects of the trochlea are in contact with the ulna.

Humerus The head of the humerus forms the ball of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint, with the glenoid cavity of the scapula acting as the socket. The rounded shape of the head of the humerus allows the humerus to move in a complete circle (circumduction) and rotate around its axis at the shoulder joint.

Humerus Home > Skeletal System > Bones of the Arm and Hand > Humerus. The humerus is the both the largest bone in the arm and the only bone in the upper arm. Many powerful muscles that manipulate the upper arm at the shoulder and the forearm at the elbow are anchored to the humerus. Movement of the humerus is essential to all of the varied activities of the arm, such as throwing, lifting, and writing.

- The humerus provides support and structure for the muscles of the upper arm. It is the connection between the scapula joint (shoulder joint) and the radius and ulna joint (elbow joint) and it supports the movement of your arm. A humerus bone fracture can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause is a fall. 2  T…. 3  Humerus Bone Fractures: Proximal, Mid-shaft and Distal Your humerus bone connects your shoulder to your forearm and has multiple other bones and muscles attached to it.

Brachioradialis The brachioradialis muscle is located in the forearm. It enables flexion of the elbow joint. The muscle also assists with pronation and supination of the forearm. These two movements allow the forearm and hand to turn so that the palm faces up or down.The arms are the only part of the body with this ability.The muscle originates on the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus. This rough margin is located on the lower end of the humerus. From there, the brachioradialis travels the length of the forearm.It inserts into the distal radius, at the bony projection known as the radial styloid process.his rough margin is located on the lower end of the humerus.

Humerus fracture A humerus fracture is a bone fracture of the bone of the upper arm, the humerus. Fractures of the humerus may be classified by the location of the fracture and divided into fractures of the proximal region, which is near the shoulder, the middle region, which is the shaft of the humerus, and the distal region, which is near the elbow.

Humerus The arm is the region between the shoulder and the elbow and consists of one bone, the humerus. The humerus, the longest and largest bone of the upper limb, articulates with the scapula proximally at the glenohumeral joint and has distal articulations with the radius and ulna at the elbow joint. The distal end of the humerus consists of two rounded prominences referred to as the medial and lateral epicondyles.

Know Your Blood Pressure Numbers A normal systolic pressure is below 120. A reading of 140 or more is high blood pressure (also called hypertension). The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen. A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. 90 or higher is high blood pressure.

- The humerus forms the upper part of the joint and widens near the end to form the medial and lateral epicondyles which are the two bony processes felt either side of the elbow joint. The ulna is situated on the inside of the joint and forms a cup shape which allows articulation with the humerus.

Proximal, Mid-Shaft, and Distal Humerus Fractures A humerus fracture is an injury to the bone of the upper arm. The upper arm bone, the humerus, connects the shoulder to the elbow. Humerus fractures are generally divided into three types of injuries based on the location of the fracture. The top of the arm bone is called the proximal humerus, and the bottom of the bone is called the distal humerus. Proximal Humerus Fractures.

The Humerus The ulnar nerve passes into the forearm along the posterior side of the medial epicondyle, and can also be palpated there. The trochlea articulates with the ulna. It is located medially, and extends onto the posterior of the bone. Lateral to the trochlear is the c apitulum, which articulates with the radius. Also found on the distal portion of the humerus are three depressions, known as the coronoid, radial and olecrannon fossae.

Arm Bones of the upper limbs, together with shoulder girdles together comprising the human arm. The humerus is one of the three long bones of the arm. It joins with the scapula at the shoulder joint and with the other long bones of the arm, the ulna and radius at the elbow joint. The elbow is the hinge joint between the end of the humerus and the ends of the radius and ulna.

Anatomy The elbow consists of portions of all three bones: 1  The distal humerus is the lower end of the humerus. 2  The radial head is the knobby end of the radius where it meets the elbow. 3  The olecranon is the part of the ulna that cups the lower end of the humerus, creating a hinge for elbow movement.
