What are the bones of the upper extremity?
humerus
radius
ulna
1/2 sphere, proximal end that articulates with the glenoid fossa to form GH joint is called what?
Head of the humerus
What are the fossae of the humerus?
radial
coronoid
olecranon
sulcus for ulnar nerve
What does the head of the radius articulate with?
