Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Label A corresponds to the head of the radius, which articulates with the capitulum of the humerus to form the elbow joint. The styloid process (A) is a bony projection at the distal end of the radius, while the olecranon (C) and coronoid process (D) are bony projections of the ulna that articulate with the humerus to form the hinge joint of the elbow. The ulnar head (E) is the distal end of the ulna, which articulates with the radius to form the distal radioulnar joint.
