- 47.
What does number 10 point to?
Explanation
Number 10 refers to the anatomical neck. The anatomical neck is a specific region on the humerus bone that is located just below the head of the bone. It is called the anatomical neck because it is the site where the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula, forming the shoulder joint. This distinction is important in anatomy because there is another region on the humerus called the surgical neck, which is located just below the tubercles of the bone.Rate this question:
- 48.
