Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The olecranon process is the bony protrusion at the top of the ulna bone in the forearm, and it articulates with the humerus bone to form the elbow joint. Therefore, the correct answer is D) elbow. A) ball-and-socket joint and B) shoulder joint are not correct because they refer to joints in different areas of the body not involving the olecranon process. C) carpal tunnel is not correct because it is a passageway in the wrist that does not involve the olecranon process or the humerus bone.
