Surface Anatomy and Bony Landmarks of the Upper Limb in Human Anatomy
This concept covers the surface anatomy and osteology of the upper limb, defining its regional organization (shoulder, arm, forearm, hand) and the joints connecting them (shoulder, elbow, wrist), along with the bony structures (clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges) and their palpable landmarks used to identify muscle attachment sites. It belongs to human anatomy, specifically osteology and surface anatomy of the appendicular skeleton, and relates to the broader discipline by establishing the structural basis for understanding the upper limb's range of movement.
