Best Answer

The ulna is only considered inferior in strength and size. Because the ulna is smaller than the humerus, it is weaker. Though, the ulna is not lesser than the humerus because each and every bone in the body is needed and is very important, which is the main definition of inferior, which is 'lesser than'.

Since the humerus is farther down the arm than the scapula, it is considered distal.

Yes it is, because the humerus is closer to the head.
