The humerus-
A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.
Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head.

Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.

The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.
In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.

The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.

Here is some information. Hope this helps ☺

The humerus and the femur similar are because of A. They both attach their respective limbs to the axial skeleton.

What is the humerus linked to?

The humerus is a protracted bone placed withinside the higher arm, among the shoulder joint and elbow joint. The proximal humerus connects to the shoulder thru the glenoid fossa of the scapula, forming the glenohumeral joint. The distal humerus articulates on the elbow to the radius and ulna withinside the forearm.

The humerus and femur are the bones of the appendicular skeletal system.They each connect their respective limbs to the axial skeletal.The humerus is a protracted bone of the palms which connects it to the skeletal thru the scapula. Similarly, the femur is a protracted bone of the thigh which connects the decreased limb with axial skeletal thru the pelvic joints.
