Poll 2: What is the "arm bone" called in anatomical terms?

Last Week poll question asked what is the "arm bone" called in anatomical terms. The answer break down for this poll is as the following: Ulna 23%, Humerus 61%, Femur 1%, Scapula 2%, Tibia 0%. This is how you guys answer to the poll last week. 

The right answer to the question was Humerus. The upper appendages or what in laymans terms we consider the arm is actually split in to 2 parts, the arm and the forearm. The arm is located between the shoulder joint and the elbow, and the forearm is located between the elbow and the wrist. Now the arm is made up of one bone which is known as the humerus, and the forearm is made up of 2 bones, the medial of the 2 bones is called the ulna and the lateral of the 2 bones is the radius. 

So knowing this the answer to the question is Humerus, which makes sense now. If you have any question feel free to email me at love89@uab.edu or post a comment on the blog entry. Until next time answer the next poll question and thank you for your help in keeping this blog alive.
