What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
What is the raised area of the condyle?
Medial Epicondlye
When explaining lateral and medial position what direction must the body be in?
Any explanation always starts with the body in anatomical position. The hands/forearms are supine (palm facing up like you're holding a cup of soup). This would make the pinky (and ulnar bone) medial with the thumb (and radius bone) lateral. At the elbow joint there is a lateral and medial epicondyle (a projection of the humerus where the forearm extensor and flexor muscles attach respectively). For lateral and medial positions this only really affects the forearm/hand since everything else is straightforward.
What structure on the humerus is most medial?
The medial epicondyle is the most medial structure of the humerus. The trochlea is the second.

The extrinsic muscles of the hand originate where?

Can the most lateral part of the humerus be felt through the skin?
Yes, the most lateral epicondyle, the most lateral part of the humerus, can be felt through the skin. It's the bump at the elbow on the thumb side.
Extensors of the wrist and hand a. are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm b. attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus c. pass through the carpal tunnel d. a and b?
Extensors of the wrist and hand are found in the posterior compartment and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The flexors, not the extensors, pass through the carpal tunnel.
What part of the body is the medical epicondyle?
I think you are asking about the medial epicondyle not the medical epicondyle. The medial epicondyle is a small bony bump on the end of the humerus kind of making the elbow joint
