    The ulna is a long bone found in the human forearm that runs parallel to the radius from the elbow to the small finger. It is located on the medial side of the forearm, the same side as the small finger. While slightly longer than the radius, the radius is thicker, making it the larger bone of the two in the forearm. The ulna provides structural support to the forearm and acts with the radius during movements of the wrist, elbow, and hand.

    Ulna

    The ulna (pl. ulnae or ulnas[3]) 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.
