Study Notes
Forearm Bones
- The radius and ulna are long bones that make up the forearm.
Anatomical Position
- In the anatomical position, the radius is found in the lateral forearm, while the ulna is found in the medial forearm.
Ulna
- The ulna has a large proximal end that articulates with the humerus.
- The three parts of the ulna's proximal end are the olecranon, coronoid process, and radial notch.
- The borders of the ulna's shaft (body) include the anterior border, posterior border, and medial border.
Radius
- The radius is shorter than the ulna and has a small proximal end that articulates with the capitulum of the humerus.
- The three parts of the radius's proximal end are the head, neck, and radial tuberosity.
Hand Bones
- The carpal bones are eight irregularly-shaped bones located in the wrist region.
- The metacarpal bones are five long bones of the hand between the carpal bones and the proximal phalanges.
- The metacarpal bones lie between the carpal bones and the hand's proximal phalanges.
