arm bone

A bone that is part of the region of the forelimb that includes the zeugopod and stylopod. Examples: patella, femur, tibia. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the arm bone is

A bone that is part of the region of the forelimb that includes the zeugopod and stylopod. Examples: patella, femur, tibia. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the arm bone is

It sits in the upper limb, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the arm bone connects to

The atlas records 16 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex and appendicular skeleton, and 7 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the arm bone. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as arm bone organ, bone of arm, bone organ of arm and bone of upper extremity. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the arm bone?

It sits in the upper limb, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the arm bone connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex, appendicular skeleton, arm, forelimb and forelimb skeleton, and 4 more.

Is the arm bone the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
