When standing upright, the humerus (upper arm bone) is positioned higher on the body than the bones of the leg (like the femur) or the bones of the forearm/wrist, which are lower in the body’s vertical axis. Key points

• Standard anatomical position defines the body standing upright with feet together and forward, arms at the sides, and palms facing forward.
• In this position, the humerus sits in the upper limb, higher on the trunk, while bones of the lower limb (femur, tibia) are lower relative to the trunk.

If you have a specific list of bones to compare, share them and I’ll indicate which is highest in anatomical position.
