käsivarres

Käsivarres is a word in the Finnish language. It translates directly to "arm" in English. The term refers to the upper limb of the human body, extending from the shoulder to the wrist. It is a crucial part of the anatomy, enabling a wide range of movements and actions.

The structure of the arm is complex, involving bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. The primary bone in the upper arm is the humerus, which connects to the shoulder blade (scapula) at the shoulder joint and to the radius and ulna in the forearm at the elbow joint. Muscles such as the biceps and triceps are responsible for bending and straightening the elbow, respectively, and for moving the arm itself.

In a broader context, "käsivarres" can also be used metaphorically. For instance, it might refer to a person's reach or influence. The Finnish language, like many others, employs such figurative language to describe abstract concepts using concrete physical terms. The everyday use of "käsivarres" in Finnish is primarily in its literal anatomical sense.
