Humerus bone quiz for anatomy and physiology!
When you are taking anatomy and physiology you will be required to know the anatomical structure locations of the humerus bone. This quiz is unlabeled so it will test your knowledge on how to identify these structural locations (trochlea, coronoid fossa, deltoid tuberosity, medial epicondyle, lateral supracondylar ridge, radial groove, greater tubercle, etc.).
You may want to watch the humerus anatomy lecture prior to taking this quiz. Don’t forget to check out more anatomy and physiology quizzes.
