Question

To measure the length of the humerus,you would measure from the
A) olecranon process to the styloid process of the radius.
B) acromion to the olecranon process.
C) suprasternal notch to the xiphoid process.
D) greater trochanter to the medial malleolus.

Accepted Answer

The humerus is the long bone that extends from the shoulder to the elbow. To measure its length, you would measure from the acromion (the highest point of the shoulder blade) to the olecranon process (the bony prominence at the back of the elbow). This gives an accurate measurement of the entire length of the bone.
