You could sort of say that because the humerous is the arm bone and phalanges are your fingers so it sort of works out that way

In western anatomical position what bone is superior to the ulna?
When the upper limb is placed in anatomical position, the humerus is the bone superior to ulna and radius. Radius is lateral to the ulna, with which it forms superior and inferior radio-ulna joints.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
Is the ulna proximal or distal to the radius in directional position?
The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
What three bones make up your arms?
The Humerus (upper arm), Radius (lower arm) and Ulna (Lower arm and elbow)
What of the humerus articulates with radius?
The humerus is the upper arm (attached to the shoulder) and the radius is the bone in the thumb side of the forearm.
What is the name of the lateral condyle on the humerus?
the distal end of the humerus has two smooth condyles. the lateral one, called the CAPITULUM is shaped somewhat like a wide tire and articulates with the radius. the medial one, called the TROCHLEA is pulleylike and articulates with the ulna.
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
Does a frog have a humerus?
Yes. And attached to the humerus is a radius and ulna.
What is the collective name for the bones of the elbow?

What is the bone of the upper extremity called?
Humerus: the bone of the arm, articulating with the scapula above and the radius and ulna below. Radius: The lateral and shorter of the two bones of the forearm Ulna: The medial and larger of of the two bones of the forearm, Synonim: cubitus
