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.
What is the extensions on the distal end of a neuron called?
The distal end of a neuron is the axon, an extension that arises from the soma (cell body), and at the distal end of an axon there are extensions called telodendria. At the distal ends of telodendria are knoblike structures called synaptic end bulbs (sometimes called synaptic knobs). Synaptic end bulbs have synaptic vesicles inside them that contain neurotransmitters. Synaptic vesicles are released by exocytosis into the synaptic cleft for diffusion. I can't tell from the way your question is worded if you're asking about axons, telodenria or synaptic end bulbs because all of these structures are at the distal end of a neuron. Determine what the function of the "extensions" is and use whichever part of my answer applies.
