Humerus

The video tutorial discusses the anatomy, definition, and function of the humerus, a long bone connecting the elbow to the scapula. It serves as an attachment for various muscles and is humorously referred to as the 'Funny Bone' due to its name's similarity to 'humorous.' The tutorial covers the humerus' anatomical features, including the head, neck, and tubercles, and explains the surgical neck's vulnerability to fractures. It also explores the distal features, such as the lateral and medial epicondyles, and the pain caused by the ulnar nerve. Finally, it examines the ventral view and articulations with the radius and ulna.

What is the primary function of the humerus in the human body?

• To connect the elbow to the scapula

• To protect the heart

• To aid in digestion

• To support the skull

Why is the 'Funny Bone' not actually funny?

• Because it is a serious medical condition

• Because it involves the humerus, which sounds like 'humorous'

• Because it is a myth

• Because it is located in the knee

What is the role of the tubercle maius on the humerus?

• To connect the humerus to the femur

• To aid in digestion

• To protect the brain

• To serve as an attachment point for shoulder muscles

Which structure is most commonly associated with fractures on the humerus?

• The anatomical neck

• The surgical neck

• The head of the humerus

• The tubercle maius

What causes the pain when you hit your 'Funny Bone'?

• The radial nerve being compressed

• The ulnar nerve being irritated

• The scapula being dislocated

• The humerus breaking
