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.
