Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The humerus articulates distally with the ulna at the elbow joint.

Note: Choice A is incorrect as the olecranon process is a feature of the ulna, not the humerus. Choice C is incorrect as the olecranon process of the ulna articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus, not the other way around. Choice D is incorrect as there is no joint between the humerus and scapula at the sternomanubrial joint.
