Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the anatomical position, which is the standard position of the body used as a reference in anatomy. In this position, the body is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.

Understand the terms 'medial' and 'lateral'. 'Medial' refers to a position closer to the midline of the body, while 'lateral' refers to a position further away from the midline.

Identify the two bones in the forearm: the radius and the ulna. The radius is located on the lateral side of the forearm, while the ulna is located on the medial side.

Recall that the ulna is the bone that is closer to the body's midline when the body is in the anatomical position, making it the medial bone of the forearm.

Review the options provided: Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Clavicle. Confirm that the ulna is indeed the medial bone in the forearm, as it is positioned closer to the midline compared to the radius.
