Acromion

In human anatomy, the acromion (from Greek: akros, "highest", ōmos, "shoulder",: acromia) is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade).

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Acromion

Adipose tissue

Adipose tissue (also known as body fat or simply fat) is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Adipose tissue

Anthropometry

Anthropometry refers to the measurement of the human individual.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Anthropometry

Calibration

In measurement technology and metrology, calibration is the comparison of measurement values delivered by a device under test with those of a calibration standard of known accuracy.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Calibration

Calipers

Caliper(s) or calliper(s) are an instrument used to measure the dimensions of an object or hole; namely, the length, width, thickness, diameter or depth of an object or hole.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Calipers

Circumference

In geometry, the circumference (from Latin circumferens, meaning "carrying around") is the perimeter of a circle or ellipse.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Circumference

CT scan

A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and CT scan

Cylinder

A cylinder has traditionally been a three-dimensional solid, one of the most basic of curvilinear geometric shapes.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Cylinder

Edema

Edema (AmE), also spelled oedema (BrE), and also known as fluid retention, dropsy, hydropsy and swelling, is the build-up of fluid in the body's tissue.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Edema

Global Acute Malnutrition

Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) is a measurement of the nutritional status of a population that is often used in protracted refugee situations.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Global Acute Malnutrition

Humerus

The humerus (humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Humerus

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a survey research program conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States, and to track changes over time.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Olecranon

The olecranon, is a large, thick, curved bony process on the proximal, posterior end of the ulna.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Olecranon

Scapula

The scapula (scapulae or scapulas), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Scapula

Tape measure

A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to measure length or distance.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Tape measure

Triceps

The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Triceps

Ulna

The ulna or ulnar bone (ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Ulna

World Health Organization

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and World Health Organization

Zinc

Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and Zinc

3D printing

3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model.

See Anthropometry of the upper arm and 3D printing
