Study Notes
Forearm Bone Anatomy
- The ulna is described as the stabilizing bone of the forearm, providing support and stability during movement.
- The radius is the shorter and lateral of the two forearm bones, located on the thumb side.
Elbow Anatomy
- The olecranon process projects proximally from the posterior aspect of the ulna, forming the prominent bony structure of the elbow.
Bone Articulations
- The ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus at its trochlear notch, enabling flexion and extension of the elbow joint.
Bone Characteristics
- The radius features a lateral convexity in its shaft, distinguishing its shape and contributing to its function in forearm rotation.
