What is Brachium?

Brachium concerns the upper arm or part of the human arm between the shoulder and elbow. This term differs from Antebrachia or forearm, which includes parts of the arm between the elbow and the wrist. Also, the zoological term may also refer to a part of the limb of the animal that corresponds to the same area to the human skeleton.

consisting of a single long bone called humerus, the upper arm contains one of the longest bones in the body. The upper end of the humerus consists of a single spherical joint that sits inside the shoulder blade or shoulder joint. When viewed from the front, the humerus seems to have a joint at an angle at the back of the bone; This is because the ball joint fits into the shoulder in a sloping manner called retroversion. At the other end of the humerus are two joints pointing almost the opposite direction as the upper joint. These two lower joints indicate the connection of Antebrachia in the elbow.

There are two main muscles in Brachio. In the biceps there is a tendon that is attached through the furrow in the upper humerus and the muscle itself sits on the front of the bracHia. On the back is triceps, which connects opposite the biceps. The tension in these muscles and their connective tissues bends the arm and the bumps at the top of the humerus not only provide a place for tendons, but increase the lever for brachium.

Strong bone in adults is partially made of cartilage in childhood. The bone replaces the cartilage slowly and regularly, so regularly that exploring the cartilage content on the bone can help determine the age of the child. A simple X -ray is needed to determine the development of the arm. The first piece to change is the joint of the Capitelum in the elbow that turns into bones at the age of about two years. The last is the side condyle on the outside of Brachia, which turns into a bone for about 12 years.

Brachia injury can affect other parts of the body and the arms may be affected by injury to other areas. Brachial plexus injury is sustained when the nerves that run to the arm and the most commonly characterized by the numbness and weakness in the brachio or loss of movement inany part of the arm or hand. Grooves at the bottom of Humerus also home nerve endings, including a place known as The Funny Bone. Sudden pressure can create electrical pain and chronic pressure on the base of Brachia can weaken your hand muscles.
