RADIUS
The radius, along with the ulna, is located in the antebrachium between the humerus and the carpus. The radius is the main weight-bearing bone of the antebrachium.

Important features of the radius:

1-HEAD: the proximal aspect of bone

2-BODY: the main shaft of the bone. The cranial surface of the body is usually convex, while the caudal surface is concave.
