Thanks you, but what confuses me is that I did use google images and in one of them it showed a human arm, apparantly I could be wrong but apparantly the forearm refers to the area between the elbow and the wrist and the forelimb refers to the entire arm. I do understand that forelimb refers mostly to animals but humans are also animals.
