It presents three surfaces and threemargins. The ventral, or volar surface, is smooth and concavo-convex. It affords origin for the mm. supinator, flexor digitorum THE ULNA 51 profundus, pronator teres and pronator quadratus (from abovedownward). The medial surface is smooth and not sharply definedfrom the ventral surface; it affords origin to the m. flexor digitorumprofundus and is often described with the ventral surface. Thedorsal surface is quite well defined and faces somewhat laterally. ?.^=>io ff Coronoid j iSB process Coronoidprocess Semilunarnotch -Radial notch Dorsal borderInternal surface Dorsal surface i>.
