What is another name for the epiphyseal line on the humerus?
Anatomical NeckAnatomical neck.
Why surgical neck of humerus called the surgical neck?
The anatomical neck is the one that looks like the neck from an anatomy point of view-it is between the head (that goes into the shoulder) and the tubercles. The surgical neck is the site where most fractures occur. It comes just after the tubercles. Remember that the humerus is kind of in the shape of a "7" going into the shoulder joint, so the anatomical neck is like if you cut from the top with a knife, and the surgical neck is if you cut from the side.
Anatomical position humerus to scapula?
The Humerus is distal to the scapula.
The anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?
True
Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?
The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.

The Humerus is distal to the scapula.
The anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?
True
Is the thumb internal to the humerus?
The thumb would be external in relation to the humerus, if the body is laid in the anatomical position.
What is a animal humerus?
Some animals have similar anatomical structure to that of humans. The humerus is the upper arm bone in humans extending from the shoulder to the elbow.
Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?
The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.
Is the thumb proximal to the forefinger?
No, according to the anatomical position, the thumb is lateral to the fingers.
Where do most fractures of the humerus occur?
at its surgical neck (columna chirurgica)
Which part of the body includes the humerus and the ulna?
The humerus and ulna are found in the arms
is the humerus medial or lateral?
The ulna is medial. It's important to remember anatomical position when determining the directional terms for the lower arm.
In western anatomical position what bone is superior to the ulna?
When the upper limb is placed in anatomical position, the humerus is the bone superior to ulna and radius. Radius is lateral to the ulna, with which it forms superior and inferior radio-ulna joints.
