b. The radius forms the point of the elbow
c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb
d. All of the above are true
e. B & C only are true

Answer 1

Answer: b. The radius forms the point of the elbow

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb

Step-by-step explanation:

Ulna and radius are the two bones of the forearm. These bones articulates with the humerus and carpels of the hand.

b. The radius forms the point of the elbow: The elbow joint is the hinge joint that forms between the proximal ends of the radius and ulna in the forearm and distal ends of the humerus. The radius forms a pointed end.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb: The wrist forms a complex joint. It forms a transition between the hand and the forearm. The radial deviation in the wrist forms the basis for the movement of the tilting of the wrist joint towards the thumb.
