Upper limb
30 bones - correct answer-Each upper limb consists of this many bones.
Humerus, ulna, radius, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, 14 phalanges. - correct answer-Bones of
each upper limb
Humerus - correct answer-The longest and largest bone of the upper limb
Humerus - correct answer-At the shoulder is articulates to the scapula, at the elbow it
articulates with both the ulna and radius.
Head - correct answer-The proximal end of the humerus consists of this. Articulates with the
glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Anatomical neck - correct answer-The former site of the epiphyseal plate, which is a groove
just distal to the head of the humerus.
Surgical neck - correct answer-Below the anatomical neck of the humerus. So named
because fractures often occur here.
Deltoid tuberosity - correct answer-In the body of the humerus. A rough, V-shaped area
where the deltoid muscle attaches.
Capitulum - correct answer-At the distal end of the humerus. A rounded knob that articulates
with the head of the radius.
Radial fossa - correct answer-A depression on the humerus that receives the head of the
radius when the forearm is flexed.
Trochlea - correct answer-Spool-shaped surface on the humerus that articulates with the
ulna.
Coronoid fossa - correct answer-A depression on the humerus that receives part of the ulna
when the forearm is flexed.
Olecranon fossa - correct answer-A depression on the back of the humerus that receives the
olecranon of the ulna when the forearm is extended.
Ulna - correct answer-On the medial aspect [little finger side] of the forearm and is longer
than the radius.
Olecranon - correct answer-At the proximal end of the ulna, which forms the prominence of
the elbow.
