Overview of Upper Extremity Bones - Human Anatomy | Kenhub

In this video, we review all of the bones of the upper extremity, from proximal to distal. These include the clavicle, the scapula, the humerus, the radius, the ulna, the carpal bones, the metacarpal bones and the phalanges.

Here's a sneak peak of what we cover: The clavicle is a short bone that connects the ones of the trunk to the bones of the am and is one of the most commonly fractures bones in the body. The scapula a flat, irregular bone, connects the clavicle to the humerus. The humerus is one of the longest bones in the human body. It forms the structure of the upper arm, brachial region, or as is technically anatomically correct to say - just: the arm.

We cover the following bones:

0:22 The clavicle
0:35 The scapula
0:49 The humerus
1:11 The radius and ulna
1:44 The carpal bones
2:19 The metacarpal bones
2:45 The phalanges

Shouldn't it be that the metacarpals are numbered lateral to medial in the anatomical position??? Not 'medial to lateral'?

[jocelynnuttall]

You say that the metacarpals are numbered medial to lateral. Based on the anatomical position, should this not be lateral to medial if the first metacarpal is the one proximal to the thumb?

What do you think of this playlist for upper limb bones ?

[norahalfayez]

thank you but i think the clavicle is a long bone, isn't it ?
