Detailed explanation-1: -The humerus and the femur are corresponding bones of the arms and legs, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ends of a long bone contain spongy bone and an epiphyseal line. The epiphyseal line is a remnant of an area that contained hyaline cartilage that grew during childhood to lengthen the bone. All of the bones in the arms and legs, except the patella, and bones of the wrist, and ankle, are long bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bones that are longer than they are wide are called long bones. They consist of a long shaft with two bulky ends or extremities. They are primarily compact bone but may have a large amount of spongy bone at the ends or extremities. Long bones include bones of the thigh, leg, arm, and forearm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your arm is made up of three bones: the upper arm bone (humerus) and two forearm bones (the ulna and the radius).
