The Anatomy of Osteology (Bones) of Upper Limb

Osteology is the study of the structure and function of the skeleton and bony structures. This academic course studies human anatomy and begins by exploring the science behind the bones of the upper limbs. We explore the various ligaments and muscles attached to the clavicle. The course then helps you to identify the most important parts of the bones attached to the shoulder section. We explain how to identify the functions of the bones in the upper limbs and describe the main determinants of bone health. We answer questions like ‘what are the components of the inferior surface of the right clavicle?’ and ‘what are the clavicle attachments?’.

This human anatomy course explains how the humerus articulates and explores the parts of the upper and lower humerus. We provide the names and aspects that constitute the muscles attached to the humerus. We discuss the two muscle attachments: the origin (proximal attachment) and the insertions (distal attachment). The course provides useful information regarding the bones and ligaments of the upper limbs of the human body. We provide practical answers to questions like ‘what can cause the clavicle to break?’.

We explore the science of bones in the upper limbs of the human body and provide the skills you need to understand them successfully. This course has no prerequisites and suits anyone who is interested in the human body and wants to know how it works. You can confidently use these concepts to assist both yourself and other people in your healthcare career. We identify each bone part found in the upper limbs of the human body.
