Solution

The correct option is A True

Forearm

  1. The radius and ulna are the two bones that make up your forearm.
  2. The ulna is the bone that is closest to your torso, and the radius is the bone that is closest to your thumb if you hold your arms at your sides with the palms facing up.
  3. The radius is greater at the wrist, whereas the ulna, which makes up the 'point' of your elbow, is larger at the elbow.
  4. The ability to rotate your arm, as well as bend and straighten the wrist and elbow, may be hampered by a forearm fracture.
  5. An outgrowth of bone that extends proximally from the ulna is called the olecranon.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
