Upper Arm Bone (Humerus) Model

Product Code : SCL-BLE-10968

The humerus model is an anatomical teaching model used for demonstrating the upper arm bone, humeral head, shaft, tubercles, condyles and shoulder-to-elbow skeletal relationships in biology, anatomy and medical training. It helps students study the main bone of the upper arm and its connection with the scapula, radius and ulna.

Product Description

The Upper Arm Bone (Humerus) Model by Lab Glassware Manufacturer is designed for anatomy classrooms, biology laboratories, nursing institutes, physiotherapy training centres, paramedical colleges and medical training labs. It provides a focused physical reference for explaining the humerus and its role in shoulder movement, elbow formation and upper limb support.

This model supports repeated classroom demonstration without using biological specimens. It is useful for teaching the humeral head, anatomical neck, surgical neck, greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, shaft, distal condyles and elbow-related landmarks when these features are visible on the supplied model. It is a practical addition to institutional biology lab equipment collections.

How to Use the Upper Arm Bone (Humerus) Model

1. Place the model on a clean, stable demonstration table.
2. Orient the model so the proximal shoulder end, shaft and distal elbow end are clearly visible.
3. Identify the humeral head, anatomical neck, surgical neck, greater tubercle and lesser tubercle.
4. Point out the shaft and distal condyles, then explain how the humerus contributes to elbow formation.
5. Use the model with charts, upper limb models or general lab equipment during structured practical sessions.

Safety note: Handle the model carefully. Do not drop it, force apart fixed parts or use it as a load-bearing object.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the model with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents and harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Store the model in a dry cabinet, tray or box after classroom use.
• Keep it away from direct heat, excessive moisture and rough handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a humerus model used for?

A humerus model is used to teach the anatomy of the upper arm bone. It helps students identify the humeral head, shaft, tubercles, condyles and shoulder-to-elbow skeletal relationships.

Is the humerus the upper arm bone?

Yes. The humerus is the long bone of the upper arm. It connects proximally with the scapula at the shoulder and distally with the radius and ulna at the elbow.

Which structures can students study on a humerus model?

Students can study the humeral head, anatomical neck, surgical neck, greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, shaft and distal condyles if these features are visible on the supplied model.

Is this model suitable for schools and colleges?

Yes. The humerus model is suitable for supervised school, college, nursing, physiotherapy, paramedical and medical foundation classes where skeletal anatomy is taught visually.

Can this model be used for physiotherapy training?

Yes. It can support basic upper limb anatomy teaching in physiotherapy, nursing and medical training. It is an educational model, not a diagnostic or surgical device.
