Superior members

1. are

   • Limbs that adhere to the upper part of the trunk at the level of the shoulder joint
     • they are composed in:
       • Scapular Waist Composed by the bones of the clavicle and the Scapula.
         • Shoulder : part of the body where the arm joins the trunk
         • Clavicle: Long bone that extends between the sternum and the scapula
         • Scapula: Bone flat,thin, triangular and wide that is in the back and superior part of the thorax
       • Arm longer and voluminous bone of the upper extremity
         • Elbow joint: joins the arm with the forearm, connecting the distal part of the humerus bone with the proximal ends of the ulna and radius bones.
           • Humerus: Longest bone of the upper extremities in the human being
       • Forearm: Formed by the ulna and radius
         • It articulates in its proximal portion with the humerus and in its distal portion with the carplanos.
           • Ulna: The long parallel bone is located in the inner part of the arm and is articulated in its upper part with a humerus and a radius.
             • Radius: The long, non-symmetrical bone, located outside the hub, consists of a body and two upper and lower ends
       • Hand: The bones that make up the carpal-hand joint complex are:
         • Radio,Ulna, Scaphoid, Semilunar,Pyramidal,Pisciform, Trapeze,Trapezoid, Big, Ganchoso,Metacarpos and phalanges
           • The joints that give rise to the union of these bones are: Radiocarpiana,Mediocarpiana or intercarpiana,Carpometacarpal, Metacarpophalanges and interphalageal
