The longer bone that is closest to your body when your arm is down at your side is the ulna. The shorter bone opposing the ulna is the radius.
The wrist flexor that follows the ulna is the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. It originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and inserts on the pisiform and the hamate bones of the wrist. Its primary function is wrist flexion and ulnar deviation.
When you reach up with your arms there are a number of bones and muscles that you use to do this action. Bones involved: Scapula, Clavical, humerous, Ulna, Radius, metacarpals, carpals, and phlangeies. Muscles involved: Pectorials, Rectus Adominus, Deltoid, Biceps Braci, Triceps, Brachioradialis, Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus, Anconeus (Cubitalis Rolani), Flexor Carpi Ulnaris, Extensor Carpi Ulnaris, Extensor Digitorum, Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis, Abductor Pollicis Longus, Extensor Pollicis Brevis, Extensor Retinaculum.
Various muscles in the forearm and hand are attached to the carpals. These include muscles like the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and others. These muscles help with movements of the wrist and fingers.
They are called as carpal bones.On proximal side you have 4 bones. From outer or lateral to inner or medial side, they are Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquartal and Pisiform.On distal side, you have again 4 bones.From outer side to inner side, you have Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Ham-met bones.
There are 18-19 muscles between wrist and elbow (15% of people may not have palmaris longus). One Muscle is called Flexor Carpi Ulnaris; this pulls the wrist so the palm comes to face the forearm (flexion) and the little finger comes towards the forarm (adduction).

The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.
