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.
<span>Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head. </span>

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.
<span>In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.
</span>
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 ☺
