In a 12 yr. old the humerus is about 12 in. long. I'm pretty sure.
The humerus. The humerus is a long bone. It can make blood cells. However, the flat, small, and irregular bones can make blood but not as much as the long bones( humerus, femur).

The long bones such as the humerus and femur.
It depends what you are using as a proportion. It is long compared to a single vertebrae but short in comparison to the entire spine.
It inserts onto the humerus. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula. There are 2 parts - Long head and short head. The long head is connected to the coracoid process by a tendon that comes up between the tubercules of the humerous. The short head is connected directly to the humerus.
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'.
The humerus, the long bone between the elbow and the shoulder, is sometimes called the "funny bone". This is a play on words between the word "humerus" (the bone) and "humorous" (a synonym for amusing or funny)
