{{DISPLAYTITLE:Ulna}}
Together with the [[Special:MyLanguage/Speiche|radius]] the ulna forms the bones of the forearm. It is a typical long, straight tubular bone and lies on the side of the little finger in the arm.

|title=Anatomy of the ulna}}

The ulna has a corpus and one extremitas proximalis and distalis respectively. The Extremitas proximalis has a hook-shaped, roughened appendix, the Olecranon. In front is the Incisura trochlearis, which reaches up to the Processus coronoideus. Lateral is the Incisura radialis, into which the Circumferentia articularis (radii) is fitted.

=== Proximal end===
At the proximal extremity there is the hook-shaped bent extension, the olecranon. This has a certain roughness. In the front is the incisura trochlearis, which reaches up to the processus coronoideus. This depression is crescent-shaped and resembles a pair of forceps. Dorsally of these structures a roughened surface is found on the ulna. This is the attachment surface of the M. brachialis, the tuberosity ulnae. Lateral is the incisura radialis, into which the circumferentia articularis (radii) is fitted.

===Ulna-Shaft===
The shaft of the ulna is also called the corpus ulnae. The cross-section of this structure has a triangular shape. Thus along the Corpus ulnae there are three sides and edges. The Margo interosseus represents the side facing the radius. This is where the Membrana interossea antebrachii, which connects ulna and radius, comes in. Furthermore, this edge serves as separation of the posterior and anterior facies. At the posterior side of the ulna the Margo posterior runs. This runs from the olecranon down to the proc. styloideus at the caput ulnae. Adjacent to this edge are the posterior and medial facies.
The medial surface does not have a continuous uniform shape. At the proximal end, the surface is significantly wider than at the distal end. The facies posterior also changes its structure over time. It has a broad and concavely curved part at the end close to the body. This changes in the middle to a narrower, convex surface. The distal end of this surface is then rounded and flat.

===Ulna-head===
The ulnar head or caput ulnae has the proc. styloideus ulnae at its distal end. This is also called the styloid process and is located on the small-fingered side of the distal joint surface. The distal end is generally widened in contrast to the shaft running in front of it.

==Function==

The ulna forms a functional unit with the radius. It creates the connection between elbow and wrist. The possibility of crossing the two bones allows the rotation of the forearm and the hand.

==Development==

The corpus ulnae begins to ossify already in the seventh week of embryonic development. Closure of the epiphyseal fugues begins between the fourth and seventh year of life.
