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.

What is the structural classification for glenohumerAL joint?
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and socket joint that is formed between two bones, the humerus and the scapula. The humerus head, acting as the ball, fits into the end of the scapula known as the glenoid, the socket.
What are the two types of joints at the ends of the humerus?
The joint where the humerus meets the shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The joint where the humerus meets the ulna (the elbow) is a hinge joint.

What are the articulating bones in the shoulder?

What articulate with the ulna and scapula?
This is called as elbow joint. It is a synovial type of joint. It is actually a joint between humerus and ulna mainly. The radius takes part in the joint passively. This is hinge variety of joint.

How elbow joint is placed to the shoulder?
I am not sure what the question is. If there was an injury and the elbow needs to be immobolized a sling is the best option. If the questions is regarding the structure of our body, the elbow joint, along with other structures is connected to a bone called the humerus; the humerus, with many other structures is connected to the shoulder joint.
What joint bends the arm?
The joint between the humerus and the ulna bends the elbow.
