1. Ulna

   The ulna (pl. ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. That is, the ulna is on the same side of the forearm as the little finger. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm. The ulna is usually slightly longer than the radius, but the radius is thicker. Therefore, the radius is considered to be the larger of the two.

1. ulna

   The ulna is one of the two long bones located in the forearm, the other being the radius. It runs parallel to the radius on the inner aspect of the forearm, extending from the wrist to the elbow, and it primarily serves as a support structure for the arm. At the elbow, it creates a hinge joint allowing for bending and at the wrist, it acts more as a stabilizer. The ulna also provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments.
