Radius (bone) ulna (center of the circle) to the edge of the radius (the circle). The ulna acts as the center point to the circle because when the arm is rotated the ulna does not move. In four-legged animals, the radius is the main load-bearing bone of the lower forelimb. Its structure is similar in most terrestrial tetrapods, but it may be fused with the ulna in some mammals (such as horses) and reduced or modified in animals with flippers or vestigial forelimbs. Radius (bone) The radius or radial bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm, the other
Hyoid bone bones of the tongue — a pair of stylohyoidea, a pair of thyrohyoidea, and unpaired basihyoideum — and associated, upper-gular connective tissues. In humans, the single hyoid bone is an equivalent of the hyoid apparatus. Hyoid bone The hyoid bone (lingual bone or tongue-bone) () is a horseshoe-shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. At rest, it lies at the level of the base of the mandible in the front and the third cervical vertebra (C3) behind. Unlike other bones, the hyoid is only distantly articulated to other bones by
