The components of the upper limbs are further described as:

A

Humerus: Upper arm bone or brachium.
Ulna and Radius: Forearm bones which pronate and supinate.
Carpals: There are 8 carpals, or wrist bones. They form two rows of 4 bones. The proximal row consists of the scapoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pistiform bones. The distal carpal bones are the trapezium (thumb), trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones.
Metacarpals: Are number I to V from the lateral (thumb) side to the medial side.
Phalanges: 14 bones form the phalanges, or fingers. Each finger contains 3 phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), and the pollex, or thumb, has two phalanges (proximal and distal).

Patella: Knee cap and is a sesamoid bone.
Tibia and Fibula: The tibia is the second longest bone and it articulates with the femur at the knee joint. It bears the body weight. The fibula provides substantial support to the ankle joint. There is an interosseous membrane between the two bones.
Tarsals: seven tarsal bones. Talus (ankle articulation), calcaneus (heel bone), cuboid, navicular, and three cuneiforms: medial, intermediate and lateral. The three cuneiform are part of the transverse arch.
