Abduction of the arm involves the humerus moving laterally. Abduction means moving a limb or finger away from the midline of the body or limb.
Yes, the shallow socket of the shoulder joint allows for greater movement of the humerus but sacrifices some stability compared to a deeper socket. To compensate for this, the shoulder joint relies on surrounding ligaments, tendons, and muscles for stability during movement.
The posterior depression on the distal humerus is known as the olecranon fossa. It is a deep, triangular cavity located on the posterior aspect of the humerus, just above the elbow joint. This fossa accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna during elbow extension, allowing for smooth movement and articulation between the humerus and ulna. Its structure is crucial for the proper functioning of the elbow joint.
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.
This movement is called internal rotation of the shoulder. It involves rotating the humerus inwards while the elbow is flexed, typically bringing the palm of the hand closer to the body. It is an important movement for various activities involving the shoulder joint.
The plural of humerus is humeri.
The humerus. Edit: Its the humerus its easy to remember because of the phrase "funny bone" funny=humorous=humerus
Moves shoulder away
The femur and the humerus are examples of which type of bones?
The rounded ends of the humerus and femur bones are called the epiphyses and help to facilitate smooth articulation and movement within joints by reducing friction. They are covered with cartilage, which helps cushion the bones and absorb shock during movement. These features contribute to the overall stability and mobility of the joints in the body.
The humerus is the bone in the upper arm that connects the shoulder to the elbow. It is the largest bone in the arm and plays a crucial role in arm movement and strength.
The humerus is a long bone located in the upper arm, between the shoulder and elbow joints. It plays a crucial role in arm movement and provides attachment points for muscles that enable various arm functions.

The humerus. The humerus is a long bone. It can make blood cells. However, the flat, small, and irregular bones can make blood but not as much as the long bones( humerus, femur).
Yes it has. The Scapula and humerus forms the shoulder joint and they both coordinate to give overhead abduction, that is abduction above 90 degrees. for every 30 degree movement of the arm or the humerus the scapula moves by 10 degrees. We cannot have overhead abduction is our scapula is stabilized or does not move.
