The humerus bone is the long bone in your upper arm. In simple terms, it goes from your shoulder down to your elbow. But heres the names for all the bones is conects to starting from the shoulder area: The humerus bone connects to two parts of the scapula bone (shoulder blade) which are the acromoin and the coracoid process. Near the elbow, the humerus bone connects with the olecranon process and the head of the radius.
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.
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)
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.

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.
radius and ulna
radius and ulna
The lower extremity of the radius actually has two bones which it articulates with. The carpal and the ulna.

The shoulder blade is called the scapula. The bones that articulate with it are the clavicle (collar bone) and the humerus (upper arm bone).

No, the humerus is a single bone.
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.

There are two bones in the upper arm: the humerus and the ulna. The humerus is the long bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow, while the ulna is one of the two bones in the forearm, not the upper arm.
