Transcript text: Find and describe the location of the radial tuberosity.
Solution
The radial tuberosity is a bony prominence located on the radius, one of the two bones in the forearm. Specifically, it is situated on the medial side of the radius, just below the neck of the bone. The radial tuberosity serves as the attachment site for the biceps brachii muscle tendon. When the biceps muscle contracts, it pulls on the radial tuberosity, allowing for the flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. This anatomical feature is crucial for the movement and function of the forearm and elbow joint.
