Humerus

Dr. Morton, the Noted Anatomist, provides an in-depth tutorial on the humerus, the principal bone of the arm. The video covers the humerus's bony landmarks, including the head, neck, tubercles, and epicondyles, and their clinical significance. It explains the articulation points with the scapula and elbow, highlighting the importance of understanding these structures for medical and anatomical studies. The tutorial also discusses potential injuries and their implications, such as nerve damage from fractures. The video concludes with a review of the key points discussed.
