Arteries and nerves of the foot

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the humerus, a long bone connecting the elbow to the shoulder blade. It covers the anatomy, definition, and function of the humerus, explaining why it's humorously referred to as the 'funny bone.' The tutorial details the anatomical features, including the head, neck, tubercles, and shaft, and highlights the surgical neck's significance due to its susceptibility to fractures. It also discusses the lateral and medial epicondyles, the capitulum, and the trochlea, emphasizing their roles in muscle attachment and articulation with other bones. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub for further learning.

What is the role of the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus?

• They serve as attachment points for shoulder muscles

• They protect the brain

• They connect the humerus to the ulna

• They are involved in blood circulation

Which part of the humerus is commonly associated with fractures?

• The capitulum

• The surgical neck

• The anatomical neck

• The head of the humerus

What is the function of the trochlea of the humerus?
