Etymology

The term 'ulna' originates from the Latin word 'ulna', meaning 'forearm' or 'elbow'. This term has been used in anatomical contexts since the early modern period. The ulna is integral to the structure of the arm, allowing for movement and functioning of the elbow joint. Over time, its terminology has remained relatively consistent in the fields of medicine and biology. The concept of 'ulnae', being its plural form, emerged as the study of anatomy evolved, enabling clearer discussions surrounding human skeletal structures.
