The radius bone (or radial bone) is one of the two largest bones of the forearm, the other one being the ulna.
Funny Bone
The scientific name for the forearm bone is the radius.
radius and ulna
The radius bone is so named because of its ability to rotate around the ulna bone, which allows the forearm to rotate. This rotation motion gives the appearance that the radius is "radiating" around the ulna, hence the name "radius."
The wrist bone would be the Ulna. carpals..
-Ulna bone: elbow bone -Radius bone: Forearm bone The radius is the bone of the forearm that extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist. The radius is situated on the lateral side of the ulna, which exceeds it in length and size. It is a long bone, prism-shaped and slightly curved longitudinally.

The Humerus Would be the upper bone near the bicep. The lower two bones are the Radius, and the Ulna. The Radius follows the thumb, and crosses when you twist your wrist.
The radius is a long bone.
Outer or inner? The bone between the shoulder and the elbow is the humerus. The two bones in the forearm (between the elbow and the wrist) are the larger, longer bone, the radius, and the smaller bone, the ulna.
The bones of the lower arm are the radius and ulna. The radius is on the "thumb" side, and the ulna is on the "pinkie" side.
Funny bone? The elbow is formed by three bones: the radius, the ulna and the humerus.
