A forearm is a region situated between the elbow and the wrist, comprising two long bones known as the radius and ulna. It serves as a crucial link connecting the upper arm to the hand, allowing for a wide range of movements and actions. The forearm houses numerous muscles, tendons, and nerves responsible for flexion, extension, pronation, and supination of the hand and wrist. This dynamic area plays a vital role in activities such as gripping, lifting, and manipulating objects, providing strength and precision to our daily tasks. The forearm is a fundamental component of the upper limb, enabling us to engage in various physical activities with remarkable control and coordination.
