Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The humerus is located in the arm. It is the long bone that extends from the shoulder to the elbow and is a part of the appendicular skeleton.

Answer: B
 The humerus is distal to the radius and ulna. These bones are located in the forearm, whereas the humerus is located in the upper arm.

Answer: C
 The humerus articulates with the scapula at the shoulder joint, not with the clavicle. However, it does form part of the shoulder complex, which includes the acromioclavicular joint.

Answer: D 
 The humerus is not a bone of the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, spine, and ribcage. It is part of the appendicular skeleton, which includes the bones of the limbs, pelvis, and shoulder girdle.
