CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Definition:The part of the forelimb between pectoral region and the elbow, corresponding to the humerus.
Comment:[homology-note] "Most anatomists now agree that the three proximal bones of the tetrapod limbs are homologous to the two or three proximal elements of the paired fin skeleton of other sarcopterygians, that is the humerus-femur, radius-tibia, and ulna-fibula.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0000343", ontology="VHOG", source="ISBN:978-0198540472 Janvier P, Early vertebrates (1996) p.268", source="http://bgee.unil.ch/"}; [terminology-note] "anatomical usage, the term arm refers specifically to the segment between the shoulder and the elbow, while the segment between the elbow and wrist is the forearm. However, in common, literary, and historical usage, arm refers to the entire upper limb from shoulder to wrist. FMA uses the term Arm for this class, so we place it here. Naming conventions for pod terms under discussion within phenoscape group."
