OberUnterarm

OberUnterarm is a term sometimes used in specific contexts, particularly in German-speaking regions, to describe the combined region of the upper and lower arm. It is not a standard anatomical term but rather a descriptive phrase. Anatomically, the arm is typically divided into the upper arm (from shoulder to elbow) and the forearm (from elbow to wrist). The upper arm primarily contains the humerus bone and muscles such as the biceps and triceps. The forearm contains the radius and ulna bones, along with numerous muscles responsible for hand and finger movement. When "OberUnterarm" is used, it generally refers to the entire limb from the shoulder joint down to the wrist joint, encompassing all the bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels within that region. This combined term might be employed in informal discussions, specific training regimens, or technical fields where a broader designation for the arm's length or structure is convenient. It is important to note that in formal anatomical or medical literature, the distinct terms "upper arm" and "forearm" are consistently used for clarity.
