[q]

olecranon process – describe[a]This is the prominence of ulna which forms the proximal lip of the trochlear notch.

[q]

coronoid process – describe[a]This forms distal lip of trochlear notch of ulna.

[q]

trochlear (semilunar) notch – describe[a]This part of the ulna wraps around the trochlea of the humerus.

[q]

radial notch – describe[a]This structure receives the head of the radius to form the PROXIMAL RADIOULNAR JOINT.

[q]

styloid process – describe[a]This is located on both the radius and ulna at their most distal extremity.

[q]

ulnar notch – describe[a]This structure is located at distal end of radius and receives head of ulna to form the DISTAL RADIOULNAR JOINT.

[q]

Interosseous membrane – describe[a]This is the fibrous connective (ligamentous) tissue that connects the radius and the ulna along their length. It helps to stabilize the forearm.

[q]

Proximal Row of carpals – list[a]scaphoid (also called the navicular), lunate triquetrum, pisiform (easily palpated)

[q]

Distal Row of carpals – list[a] trapezium (tubercle easily palpated), trapezoid, capitate, hamate (the hook of the hamate is easily palpated)

[q]

Bones of the RADIOCARPAL JOINT – list[a]The radius, scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum .
