Radius Flashcards
Which is the proximal end
This is the flatter end
Which is the distal end
This is the wider pointed end
Where is the head found
This is the round articular structure on the proximal end
Where is the neck found
This is the slender segment under the head
Where is the bicipital tuberosity
This is the blunt bulge under the head - Bicep muscle
Where is the interosseous border
This is the sharp medial edge along the shaft
Where is the styloid process
This is the sharp projection on the lateral side of the distal end - lowest point
Where is the ulnar notch
This is the concave hollow on the medial corner of the distal end
Where are the dorsal tubercles
This is a large tuberosity on the posterior surface on the distal end above the styloid process
Where is the anterior surface
Left on the proximal end and right on the distal end
How would you side a radius
The ulnar notch, radial tuberosity and interoseous crest are medial, the dorsal tubercles are posterior and styloid process lateral
