Upper limb

Let’s begin by talking about the extremities, the structures responsible for interacting with the environment, locomotion, weight bearing, and many more. The upper limb consists of four main parts: shoulderarmforearm, and hand. In turn, the mobility of the limb is provided by the shoulder, elbow, and wrist jointsonto which various muscles act.
