More model informationThe humerus is a prominent bone in the upper limb (from shoulder to elbow) of vertebrates, playing a vital role in arm movement and muscle attachment. In humans, the humerus is essential for activities ranging from lifting to throwing. Across species, the humerus showcases variations in size and structure, reflecting adaptations to different lifestyles and locomotor habits in the animal kingdom.
