Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the name of the bone that extends from the shoulder to the elbow?"
The humerus is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It connects the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna. The humerus is the foundation to which many muscles insert, such as the deltoid, the pectoralis major, and others. The humerus is one of the longest bones in the body. This means it is also one of the most commonly broken or fractured. Many powerful muscles that manipulate the upper arm at the shoulder and the forearm at the elbow are anchored to the humerus. Movement of the humerus is essential to all of the varied activities of the arm, such as throwing, lifting, and writing.
