Are bones limbs?
The bones in the arms and legs. These would be the radius and ulna in the distal part of the arm. That is the part connected to the hand. In the proximal part of the arm, it would be the humerus. That is the bone connected to the shoulder. In the legs, the limb bones are the femur, the tibia and the fibula. The femur is the large bone that articulates with the hip. The tibia and fibula are in the distal leg, near the foot. The patella is the knee cap found between the femur and the tibia and fibula. Many would not consider it a limb bone, but it is found in the limbs so many would. There are also many bones in your writs, hands and feet.
