Epicoracohumeral

/ˌɛpɪkɔːrəkoʊhjuːˈmɛrəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving both the epicoracoid process and the humerus bone of the upper arm.

Etymology

From 'epi-' (upon) + 'coracoid' (crow-like process) + 'humeral' (arm bone). A compound anatomical term describing relationships between two skeletal structures.

Kelly Says

Compound anatomical terms like this were born from the need to describe muscles and ligaments that span multiple bones—epicoracohumeral muscles connect your shoulder to your arm, working together.
