    Study Notes

    Location and Structure

    • The ulna is located medial to the radius, in the forearm.
    • It is the longer of the two forearm bones.
    • It can be conceptually divided into proximal, shaft, and distal segments.

    Homologous Structure

    • The ulna is homologous to the fibula. This means it shares a similar evolutionary origin with the fibula.
