Gliedmaßenregionen

Gliedmaßenregionen refers to the distinct anatomical regions of the limbs in vertebrates. These regions are classified based on their relative position and function. The primary limb regions include the shoulder girdle and arm for the forelimb, and the pelvic girdle and leg for the hindlimb. The arm, in turn, is divided into the upper arm (brachium), elbow, forearm (antebrachium), wrist (carpus), and hand (manus). Similarly, the leg is divided into the thigh (femur), knee, lower leg (crus), ankle (tarsus), and foot (pes). These regions are characterized by specific bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that facilitate movement and interaction with the environment. The segmentation of limbs into these regions is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate anatomy, allowing for specialized functions and complex motor skills. Understanding these Gliedmaßenregionen is crucial in fields such as medicine, zoology, and biomechanics for diagnosis, description, and analysis of locomotion.
