This photo doesn't say which arm this humerus bone comes from. I'm sure I can figure it out, just have to go somewhere else for that info.

You need Three directions on any bone to know its side
in humerus for example:
1. the head is medial./ Greater tuberosity lateral.
2. the head / greater tuberosity is superior.
3. the olecranon fossa is posterior./ coronoid fossa is anterior.
