Question:
The humerus bone is a bone of the:
a. upper extremity
b. lower extremity
c. spinal column
d. skull
Long Bones:
Long bones are a sub-type of skeletal structure that have two articulating portions called epiphyses, and one long region between the two called a diaphysis. Long bones are also unique because they contain a medullary cavity within the shaft, which works to produce formed elements in the blood.
