Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii. an anterior, smooth portion, on which a bursa is interposed between the tendon and the bone. The radius is the bone of the forearm that extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist. The radius is situated on the lateral side of the ulna, which exceeds it in length and size. It is a long bone, prism-shaped and slightly curved longitudinally. The radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus. The word radius is Latin for "ray". In the context of the radius bone, a ray can be thought of rotating around an axis line extending diagonally from centre of capitulum to the centre of distal ulna. The purpose of the radius is to connect the elbow to the forearm.
