The humerus (/ ˈ h juː m ər ə s /; pl.: humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.It connects the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna, and consists of three sections.
In human anatomy, the glenohumeral ligaments (GHL) are three ligaments on the anterior side of the glenohumeral joint (i.e. between the glenoid cavity of the scapula and the head of the humerus; colloquially called the shoulder joint).
The anatomical neck of the humerus is obliquely directed, forming an obtuse angle with the body of the humerus. It represents the fused epiphyseal plate. It represents the fused epiphyseal plate. [ 1 ]
These muscles arise from the scapula and connect to the head of the humerus, forming a cuff at the shoulder joint. They hold the head of the humerus in the small and shallow glenoid fossa of the scapula. The glenohumeral joint has been analogously described as a golf ball (head of the humerus) sitting on a golf tee (glenoid fossa). [5]
In human anatomy, the deltoid tuberosity is a rough, triangular [1] area on the antero lateral (front-side) surface of the middle of the humerus. [2] It is a site of attachment of deltoid muscle . [ 2 ]
The greater tubercle of the humerus is the outward part the upper end of that bone, adjacent to the large rounded prominence of the humerus head. It provides attachment points for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles, three of the four muscles of the rotator cuff, a muscle group that stabilizes the shoulder joint.
Launched in 1999, the Neo Geo Pocket Color was SNK’s answer to Nintendo’s Game Boy Color. Though it hoped to revolutionize handheld gaming, the console ultimately fell short due to its shorter ...
It is the thickenings of the capsule that passes from the upper part of glenoid to lesser tuberosity and inferior part of the head of humerus. These ligaments are weak unlike its posterior part which is supported by the infraspinatus muscle. [4] Coracohumeral ligament [4] Transverse humeral ligament [4] Coraco-acromial ligament [7]
