Humeri is the plural form of humerus, which is the long bone in the upper arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It plays a crucial role in the mobility of the arm and is essential for various movements such as lifting and throwing. The humerus is a crucial component of the skeletal system, articulating with both the shoulder blade (scapula) and the radius and ulna at the elbow. Understanding the structure of the humerus is vital for fields such as orthopedics and physical therapy.

Etymology

The term 'humerus' originates from the Latin word 'humerus', which translates to 'upper arm'. This Latin word itself is derived from the Greek word 'humeros', meaning 'shoulder' or 'upper arm'. The usage of the term has been consistent in both classical literature and modern anatomy. The understanding of the humerus has evolved significantly over time, particularly as medicine advanced, leading to better insights into its structure and function in the human body. The study of humeral anatomy is fundamental in diagnosing and treating upper limb injuries, which has further entrenched the term in medical nomenclature.
