Question

How do you tell a right humerus from a left humerus?

Answer 1

Humerus bone:

1. Humerus bone connects the shoulder of the arm to the elbow.
2. There are two long humerus bones on either side of the body.
3. Capitulum is the protruding part located on the lateral side of the distal region of the humerus.
4. Hence, if the capitulum is on the left side, then the humerus is on the left side, similarly if the capitulum is located on the right side, then the humerus is also located on the right side.
