Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The radius and ulna both have styloid processes that are located on the ____ end of the bone.
A
anterior
B
posterior
C
proximal
D
distal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The radius is located laterally, near the thumb, and the ulna medially, near the little finger. The radius and the ulna have a styloid process at the distal end; they are also attachment sites for many muscles. The radius is smaller than the ulna.

Detailed explanation-2: -In conclusion, the ulnar styloid process is located at nearly the ulnar-most (the opposite side of the humerus with the elbow flexed) and slightly dorsal aspects of the ulnar head in the axial plane view obtained in neutral forearm rotation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection.

Detailed explanation-4: -The (a) radius and (e) ulna both have a styloid process. Both styloids processes are found distally with the styloid process of the ulna on the medial side and the styloid process of the radius on the lateral side (in the anatomical position).
