Upper Limb Anatomy [Archive]

by James Pickering, PhD

The upper limbs are the superior extensions of the trunk, enabling humans to grasp and use tools as well as traverse the environment by reaching and climbing. Grossly speaking, the upper limbs are made of three articulated segments: the arm, the forearm, and the hand.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the osteology of the upper limb; its muscles, irrigation, and innervation; the armpit; and a detailed look at the anatomy of the hand.

For optimal comprehension, the student is encouraged to correlate the lessons of this course with their counterparts in histology, physiology, and embryology.

In trauma situations, the limbs are frequently injured. In falls, for example, the upper limbs are used to protect the face and head from impact. It also stands to reason that as the most distal prolongations of the body and usually the primary means of interaction with the world, they are the receptors of noxious stimuli.

For the adequate diagnosis and management of fractures and other conditions that affect the upper limbs, a physician and nurse are required to have a good understanding of the anatomy of the upper limbs. In the field of orthopedics, both upper and lower limbs are of special interest because of the need for surgical correction of certain fractures.

i love how he gave a detail information about the course with little time while still making clear to understand

 
Great lecture both interesting and educational.
By Samuel P. on 24. January 2023 for Axillary Artery – Overview of Arterial Supply to Upper Limb

I really enjoy watching these videos. The way dr. Pickering chops the information into little pieces to make it easier to comprehend. I also think he puts more emphasis on the structures that are clinically relevant. It's great how he uses the illustrations to guide us through the structures, however the quality of the illustrations are very poor and too small.

 
love it

I like it
By Victor K. on 11. December 2022 for Upper Limb Anatomy [Archive]

I really like the mode of teaching used. It's easy for one to understand the topics. The videos are short hence increasing ones morale to cover the topics. However,the admins should try and add dentistry programmes like oral biology in lecturio
