Question

Olecranon process occurs in
(a) Femur
(b) Radius
(c) Humerus
(d) Ulna

Answer 1

Hint: This is the longer, larger, and more medial of the bones of the lower arm. Its movement is essential for performing everyday functions such as throwing a ball and driving a car.

Complete answer:
The Olecranon process occurs in the ulna. The outer bump of the elbow is formed by the olecranon process in the ulna that fits into the fossa of the humerus when the arm is extended. It is an evident bony structure of the ulna that represents the most posterior surface at the elbow. It is also an attachment site for several muscles.

Additional information:
-The thigh bone is also called the femur. the upper bone of the hind leg. The head of the femur forms a ball-and-socket joint with the acetabulum of the hip, being held in place by a ligament within the socket.
-The radius is one of the two large bones of the forearm and the other one is the ulna. From the lateral side of the elbow, it extends to the thumb side of the wrist. the radius runs parallel to the ulna.
-The humerus is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow and also known as adele. It connects the scapula with the radius, and ulna, of the lower arm.

So, the correct answer is ‘ulna’.

Note:
-23 muscles work together to give flexibility and stability to our elbow.
-The elbow is also called "funny bone" because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it. The ulnar nerve inside the elbow lets the brain know about feelings in the fourth and fifth fingers after hitting.
-An olecranon fracture is a common fracture occurs due to the break in the “pointy bone” of the elbow
