∙ 9y agoThe two bones in the forearm are the radius and the ulna.
The radius extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist. Running parallel is the ulna, the larger and longer of the two. While the radius primarily contributes to the wrist joint, the ulna mainly contributes to the wrist joint.

Why is having 2 bones in the arm better than 1?
The two bones in the forearm allow it to turn better, so it is not necessary to turn the whole arm in oreder to slightly change the angle of the hand. There are three bones in the human arm (radius, ulna, humerus), so the question needs to be revised. If the question was supposed to be why having two bones in the FOREARM is better than one, then the answer is because having two bones is what allows the forearm to rotate. If there were only one bone in the forearm, then we would not be able to do so.
