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 two bones articulate with the distal humerus?

The ulna and the radius articulate with the distal humerus at the elbow joint. The ulna forms the primary articulation, while the head of the radius articulates with a small depression on the side of the ulna known as the radial notch.


The ligament holds the radius to the ulna at the proximal end?

The ligament you are referring to is the annular ligament, which encircles the head of the radius and attaches it firmly to the ulna. This ligament allows for proper rotation of the radius around the ulna during forearm movements.


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 bones articulates with the ulna?

At the distal end: the carpels in the hand at the head of the ulna and the radius at the ulna notch of radius. At the proximal end: the trochlea of the humerus at the trochlear notch and coronoid process of the ulna and the head of the radius at the radial notch of the ulna.


What ligament stabilizes and encircles the head of the radius?

The annular ligament stabilizes and encircles the head of the radius, holding it in place against the radial notch of the ulna. This ligament helps maintain the relationship between the radius and ulna during movements of the elbow joint.


What are the structures passing through sigmoid notch?

The structures passing through the sigmoid notch of the ulna are the radial notch, which accommodates the head of the radius, and the ulnar collateral ligament which attaches to the radial notch.


Where is the location of the proximal radioulnar joint?

The location of the proximal radioulnar joint is in the forearm, between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. It is a pivot joint that allows for rotational movement of the radius around the ulna, specifically enabling pronation and supination of the forearm.


What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?

To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
