Which is bigger radius or ulna?
they are the two bones that make up the lower armthe ulna is on the same side of the arm as the pinky finger.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.
What makes the radius bone lateral to the ulna?
The anatomical position of the radius bone (forearm bone) in relation to the ulna bone is due to the positioning of the thumb in the human hand. The radius is located lateral (on the same side as the thumb) to the ulna bone when the palms are facing up. This positioning allows for rotation of the forearm and greater range of motion in activities like grasping and rotating objects.
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 the shorter lateral bone of the forearm?

In layman terms, the radius is on the side of your thumb, and the ulna on the side of the pinky-finger.
What is the lateral bone of the lower arm?
The lateral bone of the lower arm is the radius. It runs parallel to the ulna and is located on the thumb side of the forearm. The radius helps to enable rotation of the forearm and provides attachment points for muscles that move the hand and wrist.
