The sheet of dense connective tissue that unites the ulna and radius is called?
A
ulnar fossa
B
interosseous membrance
C
radial fossa
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The interosseous membrane of the forearm (rarely middle or intermediate radioulnar joint ) is a fibrous sheet that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and the ulna. It is the main part of the radio-ulnar syndesmosis, a fibrous joint between the two bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -One such structure, the interosseous membrane, is a fibrous tissue with an oblique orientation from the radius to the ulna. The membrane maintains the interosseous space between the radius and ulna through forearm rotation and actively transfers forces from the radius to the ulna.

Detailed explanation-3: -An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -The interosseous membrane of the forearm is a Z shaped fibrous sheet that connects the radius and ulna forming a syndesmosis. The membrane divides the forearm into the anterior and posterior compartments and is the site of attachment for many muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -(b) An interosseous membrane forms a syndesmosis between the radius and ulna bones of the forearm.
