arm bones

Limb's skeletal structure

The bones of the upper limb, from shoulder to fingertips.

In casual speech, arm bones typically means the humerus (upper arm), radius and ulna (forearm), though anatomically the arm extends through the wrist and hand bones as well: The X-ray showed a fracture in one of the arm bones.
