The ________ of the Radius Helps Stabilize the Wrist Joint

Question

The ________ of the radius helps stabilize the wrist joint.
A) olecranon process
B) coronoid process
C) styloid process
D) radial tuberosity
E) capitulum

Accepted Answer

The styloid process of the radius is a bony protrusion at the end of the radius bone that helps stabilize the wrist joint by providing attachment for ligaments and tendons. The olecranon and coronoid processes are located on the ulna bone and are part of the elbow joint. The radial tuberosity and capitulum are also on the radius bone but do not contribute to wrist joint stability.
