What is the anatomy of the radius bone?

The radius bone is one of the two bones in the forearm, located on the thumb side of the arm. It is a long, slender bone that extends from the elbow to the wrist. The radius bone is responsible for pronation and supination of the forearm, which are the movements of turning the palm up and down.

The radius bone is divided into three parts: the head, the shaft, and the distal end. The head of the radius is located at the elbow joint and articulates with the humerus. The shaft of the radius is the long, middle part of the bone. The distal end of the radius is located at the wrist joint and articulates with the carpal bones.

The radius bone is innervated by the radial nerve. The radial artery and vein run along the course of the radius bone.
