Medial epicondyle of the humerus and humerus, the bone on which the medial epicondyle is located. The medial epicondyle is located on the distal end of the humerus. Additionally, the medial epicondyle is inferior to the medial supracondylar ridge. It is also proximal to the olecranon fossa. Medial epicondyle of the humerus The medial epicondyle of the humerus is an epicondyle of the humerus bone of the upper arm in humans. It is larger and more prominent than the lateral epicondyle and is directed slightly more posteriorly in the anatomical position. In birds, where the arm is somewhat rotated compared to other tetrapods, it is
Bone marrow the umbilical cord. The earliest fossilised evidence of bone marrow was discovered in 2014 in "Eusthenopteron", a lobe-finned fish which lived during the Devonian period approximately 370 million years ago. Scientists from Uppsala University and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility used X-ray synchrotron microtomography to study the fossilised interior of the skeleton's humerus, finding organised tubular structures akin to modern vertebrate bone marrow. "Eusthenopteron" is closely related to the early tetrapods, which ultimately evolved into the land-dwelling mammals and lizards of the present day. Bone marrow Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue which may be found within the spongy or
