humeri
Shoulder-to-elbow bones
Humeri is the plural of humerus, the bone of the upper arm extending from shoulder to elbow.
The term appears almost exclusively in anatomical and medical contexts: Both humeri showed signs of previous fractures.
In casual speech, people say "upper arm bones" instead.
