More About ulna
The ulna is one of two bones in the arm. It is long and helps us move. It is next to the radius bone. Both bones work together to help us use our arms.
We use our ulna every day. It helps us eat, play, and write. Without it, our arms would not work well. We need both bones to be strong.
Did you know that the ulna is also in other animals? They have a ulna too! It helps them move their legs or wings.
