Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
How many bones do you think are in your arms? I’ll tell you what, there are actually only three major bones in your arms. Our arm bones connect to our shoulder through our scapula, our shoulder blade. The top bone in our arm is called the humerus and below that, we have two bones in our forearm called the ulna and the radius. The joint in the middle is called the elbow and this is where the bones connect. Our ulna is bigger than our radius and it supports the outside of our arm. The radius, while smaller, supports the inside of arm closest to our thumb. These three bones are thinner in the middle but wider at the ends where they connect.
