What does the ulna do?

In: Human Anatomy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Of the two forearm bones, the ulna is the major contributor to the elbow joint, giving you flexibility there, as opposed to the radius, which is the main contributor to the wrist. In four-legged mammals, the ulna is responsible for muscle attachment while the radius is responsible for load-bearing.

Where is the ulna in the body?
It is a bone of the lower arm. It runs next to the radius from the elbow to the wrist. When doing a 'thumbs up' sign the ulna is underneath the radius, furthest from the thumb.
