Discuss the parts of the distal and proximal epiphyses of the humerus that form articulations with the scapula, ulna, and radius

What will be an ideal response?


On the proximal epiphysis, the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the shoulder joint. On the distal epiphysis, the capitulum of the humerus articulates with the radial head while the trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna.
