The elbow is not in and of itself a bone. It is the joining of the humerus, ulna, and radius-most specifially, the humerus and ulna. The bony point that we think of as the elbow is part of the ulna (one of the forearm bones). It is called the olecranon process. The smaller bumps on the sides are parts of the humerus (upper arm bone). They are called epicondyles.
