Correct. It is also proximally medial to the radius in pronation, however at its distal end it is lateral.

Is the ulna contra-lateral to the radius?
The right ulna is medial to the right radius. The right ulna is contralateral to the left radius.
What are the special terms used to describe medial and lateral rotation of the forearm?
radius (lateral) Ulna (medial)
What makes the radius bone lateral to the ulna?
In anatomical position, the radius bone is the lateral bone in the forearm and by gently pressing on it's lower end just above the wrist we can feel the pulse of the radial artery , while the ulna is the medial bone of the forearm.
What is the medial bump of the wrist called?
The medial bump of the wrist is caused by the styloid process of the ulna. The lateral wrist bump is from the radius.
What is the lateral bone of the forearm?
In anatomical position the palms are facing up, making the ulna the medial bone of the forearm. The ulna is on the pinky side, and radius is on the thumb side.
What is an antebrachium?
The antebrachium is the forearm. It contains the radius on the lateral side and the ulna on the medial side.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
Which two bones are in the forearm?
The ulna and the radius are the two bones in the forearm. Latin: Ulnaris et. radialis. If you hold your arm at your side with the palm forward ulna is palpable on the medial (inside) part of the forearm, whilst the radius is palpable on lateral (outside) side. In layman terms, the radius is on the side of your thumb, and the ulna on the side of the pinky-finger.
What are the processes and bones that create your medial and lateral ankle and wrist bumps?
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
What bones form the bumps on the medial and lateral sides of a wrist?
The radius forms the bump on the lateral side of the wrist. The ulna forms the bump on the medial side of the wrist. Remember to keep anatomical position in mind when determining directionals for the upper limb.
Where is the ulna relative to the radius?
The ulna is going to lateral to the radius (in anatomy terms). Otherwise the ulna is on the side where your pinky finger is.
