Yes. There are bony projections on the distal ends of both the ulna and radius. These bony projections can be identified by palpating them directly, and are referred to as the Styloid Processes.

What is the name of the slender pointed projection on the distal end of the ulna?
The same as the slender, pointed projection on the distal end of the radius: the styloid process
What is the term for a fracture of the distal end of the radius and ulna?
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
What bone contains styloid process?
The styloid process is a bony protuberance off of the temporal bone. During embryological development, the dorsal end of the second pharyngeal arch cartilage forms the stapes and the styloid process. It is the cartilaginous viscerocranium that is derived from the first two pharyngeal arches.
Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
What is the name of the slender pointed projection on the distal end of the radius?
styloid process
What is located at the end of the distal end of the radius?
The styloid process is the projection on the distal end of the ulna. It's the wrist bump on the pinkie side of the wrist.
What is the name of the slender pointed projection on the distal end of the ulna?
The same as the slender, pointed projection on the distal end of the radius: the styloid process
What is located at the end of the radius?
The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm. The styloid process is at the distal end of the radius and then the carpals of the hand. The elbow is located at the other end of the radius.
The head of the radius is located?
at the distal end of the radius
Is the radial head located at the distal end of the radius?
The radial head is located at the top of the radius bone in your forearm near the elbow. The distal end of the radius is near the wrist. So therefore the radial head is not located near the distal end.
What is the term for a fracture of the distal end of the radius and ulna?
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D

Which bone has the head located on the distal end?
The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
Which joint is the radius part of?
The radius and its companion bone the ulna form the forearm and are part of, or connect to, the wrist (radiocarpal joint) at the distal end and elbow (radioulnar joint) at the proximal end.
