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.

The proximal end is at the shoulder. The distal end is at the elbow.

∙ 13y agoNo; the distal end of the humerus is near the elbow. Conversely, the proximal end of the humerus is near the shoulder.

∙ 9y agoThe distal end of the humerus is located at the elbow. There it articulates with the radius and ulna.

What is the bone that connects your forearm to your shoulder?
There are 2 bones in your forearm. The ulna and radius. They are connected at the parietal end to the humerus forming your elbow and at the distal end to the carpals forming your wrist.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
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 humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Anatomical position humerus to scapula?
The Humerus is distal to the scapula.
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.
Where transcondylar distal humerus?
The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.
What is the trochlear notch that articulates with the humerus?
The trochlea of the humerus is where your ulna joins with your humerus to create your elbow.
What is more distal the humerus or the carpals?
The carpals are distal to the humerus.
Is the humerus distal from the thumb?
The humerus is proximal, not distal, to the thumb.
What is the bone that connects your forearm to your shoulder?
There are 2 bones in your forearm. The ulna and radius. They are connected at the parietal end to the humerus forming your elbow and at the distal end to the carpals forming your wrist.

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.
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 humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Clavicle bone articulates with?
the medial end articulates with the sternum and the distal end articulates with the humerus and scapula.
What articular surfaces make up the shoulder joint?
The proximal surface is the acromion of the scapula while the distal part is the head of the humerus.
