Uberon Homology note : Most anatomists now agree that the three proximal bones of the tetrapod limbs are
homologous to the two or three proximal elements of the paired fin skeleton of other
sarcopterygians, that is the humerus-femur, radius-tibia, and ulna-fibula.[well established][VHOG];
Uberon Terminology note : anatomical usage, the term arm refers specifically to the segment between the shoulder
and the elbow, while the segment between the elbow and wrist is the forearm. However,
in common, literary, and historical usage, arm refers to the entire upper limb from
shoulder to wrist. FMA uses the term Arm for this class, so we place it here. Naming
