Names of human arm bones?

Your radius and ulna are in your lower arm, and the humerus is in you upper arm. The radius goes from your thumb to your humerus, crossing over the ulna which goes from your pinky to your humerus. Your humerus also connects to your scapula (or shoulder blade) in what is called a "ball and socket" - the rounded end of your humerus fits perfectly into the indent in your scapula. In your fingers, you have carpals, which are your wrist bones; metacarpals, which are the palm of your hand; and phalanges, which are your finger bones.
