This is very easy question to ask and very difficult to answer. Upper end of the humerus is attached to the glenoid fossa of the scapula. But lower end is almost freely mobile. You can move the lower end near or futher to midline as compared to upper end.
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.
median
Abduction of the arm involves the humerus moving laterally. Abduction means moving a limb or finger away from the midline of the body or limb.
Yes, the clavicle, or collarbone, is medial to the humerus, or upper arm bone.The clavicle is medial to the humerus. The clavicle, or collarbone, is located closer to the midline of the body than the upper body of the arm is.
The xyphoid process that is the terminal end of the sternum, should be pretty close
No. The sternum is superior to the descending colon.
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 humerus is lateral to the sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is midline.
proximal epiphysis
The trochlear notch is a depression on the proximal end of the ulna bone that articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. This forms the hinge joint of the elbow, allowing for flexion and extension of the forearm.
medial
Toward or nearest the middle/midline is MEDIAL
